I am trying to find a way to disable Design / Split views from appearing in Visual Studio. I figure there’s no way to completely disable it, but I still can’t seem to find a way to remove the shortcut (F7), or remove the buttons from the bottom bar.

The best I found was:
for HTML/ASPX – Options -> HTML Designer -> start pages in source view
for XAML -> Options -> Text Editor -> XAML -> Misc -> Always open documents in full XAML view
