Visual Studio hotkey to switch between code behind and source file?

Question

I use the Shift + F7 often to switch between source and design view.

Does anyone know of a hotkey to switch between the source file

Answer 1

For those trying to do this (switch from the code view to markup view) in VS2012, I had to go Tools > Options > Keyboard, then select

• Keyboard Mapping Scheme as "(default)"
• View.ToggleDesigner as the command
• Use new shortcut in "Text Editor"
• Set the shortcut key to F7

This results in F7 switching both ways from the markup view to the code view and vice versa.

Before doing this I had to use Shift+F7 twice to get to markup from the code view.

Answer 2

F7

Answer 3

In case F7 does not work for you, go to "Tools - Import and Export settings - Reset all settings" and choose "Web development" template to reset to.

Answer 4

Yep just F7

Look at this poster for C# VS2008 shortcuts

You can also bind it to any combination of keys you like, go to tools, options (show all settings) environment, keybord, Show Commands for View.ViewCode and change to your liking.

There don't seem to be posters beyond 2010 but there is a website for VS2012, VS2013 and VS14: Visual Studio Shortcuts
