mouse cursor at "button1_Click", press F12, go to source code, but non-WPF, nothing happen

WPF is from Microsoft directly, so they can do things we can't. Rider is better when it comes to Avalonia support, but there is no WYSIWYG editor and it is unlikely to be added soon.

If you have access to Resharper pressing F12 works fine. But Resharper costs money. Although it is free if you are a student.

Avalonia however does not have a designer and likely never will. Using the WPF designer was almost always a bad idea due to how it worked. The Avalonia previewer works fine for most of the cases people used the WPF designer for. It can take some getting used to, but once you are able to visualise document layouts in your head it's fairly straight forwards.

the event handler list is more important, I cannot remember common event handler parameter.
always double click event handler auto create function. if no this event handler list, how to create correct event function?

This works well in Rider

@rabbitism thank you

You can always check the source code for the control. I agree it's not great though. Which is why I mentioned Resharper, as Rider is build around Resharper. Except you can use Resharper from within Visual Studio, which makes Avalonia actually pretty usable in Visual Studio.
