How can I make Visual Studio XAML code editor not lose focus when switching among documents?

I'm editing in Visual Studio 2013 two XAML files.

I'm doing it using "Vertical Split" mode doing edits in one part - XAML code editor and tracking changes with my eyes in second part - visual designer.

When I switch between these documents using Ctrl+Tab keys, my cursor is gone from code editor so I must use mouse to bring it back. How can I enforce the IDE to not touch my cursor?

I think you can assign this by going to Tools -> Options -> Keyboard and searching for SplitPane. You should be able to assign shortcut keys for the following values:

Window.NextSplitPane Window.PreviousSplitPane

NextSplitPane will cycle among the splits
