using the control+page up/page down keys you can switch between
markup, designer and split view. to switch between code and markup, I
generally prefer control+tab used to move between two recently opened
windows or sometimes I just control-f4 (close) the code window
because, I can easily come to it with f7 (you need to save the changes
if you made some with this, though).
I like outlining (collapsing/expanding) code/markup a lot, therefore
the key sequence ctrl+m+m seems just too long to me, therefore, I
have defined ctrl+` from the options dialog for this feature.
