Answer 1

For Visual Studio 2010 (maybe others as well) F6 will work to jump between split panes if Tools -> Options -> Keyboard does not use the Visual C# 2005 keyboard layout additionally (which was the case for me for I-don't-know-why reasons - maybe I said yes to an installer/first-start question a long time ago).

Of course you will no longer be able to build your project with F6 afterwards. ;-)

Answer 2

For Visual Studio 2012: Tools -> Options -> Keyboard -> search by Window.Split and add a new shortcut.
