Description

Issue

It would be helpful if there was a new key binding that switched between the different panes of the designer & keeps focus on the correct element.

For instance, if a TextBlock has focus in the Card preview, pressing Space would move focus to the corresponding TextBlock in the Card Structure Pane, and pressing Space again would move focus to the TextBlock Element Properties Pane.

Research direction

Start by locating the designer's Card preview, Card Structure Pane, and Element Properties Pane, then trace how focus moves between their corresponding elements. Confirm how key bindings are registered and how the focused element is represented. Done means pressing the chosen key moves focus through the corresponding panes in order and preserves the correct element focus.
