The difference with the "with encoding" is that it brings up an
additional dialog that allows explicit selection of the file's code
set and line ending convention.
Also, I'm pretty sure you can go straight to the XAML editor with
ctrl+alt+0 when you have a file selected in solution explorer.

You should be able to start editing any XAML file by just hitting Enter on

Visual Studio's default behavior is to open XAML files in "Split View",
which visually splits the document in half, giving a preview/design view of
the document in the top half and the flat XAML code in the bottom half.
You can change this behavior by going into Tools\Options, heading to the
bottom of the list for XAML Designer\General and changing the "Default
document view" (shortcut D) to either Source View (which will give you just
the XAML text representation) or Design View (which gives you the visual
preview/design view).
To answer the question about encoding in the Open With dialog, as far as I
know, the defaults are the ones that do *NOT* say "with encoding". I'm not
actually sure the difference between the two. I generally don't use the Open
With dialog and I tend to ask folks when they need it... just for my own
education. I'm hoping the above instructions on how to choose between the
document views should make it so you don't need to use the Open With
experience any more.
Let me know if this solves your issues.

Subject: [program-l] WPF XAML Editor HotKey
Hi:
I Created a (wpf) project and wanted to open the (xaml) editor for
(Main.xaml) from in solution explorer.
The only way I could do it was to bring up the dropdown menu dialog, select
the open with item then in that list select source code - not sure if I
should have selected that as a text or the source with encoding or something
else all together.
Is there a hot key to just open the (xaml) editor without opening the
designer or going through the above steps?
And do I use the Source (text) or the Source with Encoding option?
