It's supposed to be. I'm not going to say it's particularly friendly as I think
it's one of those areas that fell more into the category of "We're not really
sure how to do a screen reader version of the designer", so I would be very
hesitant to say that it's particularly great... but I do know that it has
passed the accessibility tests... so...
If you've got feedback on it, please don't hesitate to send it my way or
through the "suggest a feature" path in Visual Studio. But, I believe that it
can be used.

In the split version, is the designer accessible? Can we read the preview split
pain?

You should be able to start editing any XAML file by just hitting Enter on it
in the Solution Explorer.
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?

I might also want to switch between the xaml editor, any selected item and the
