"it must be within view of the opening"

What "opening" does the manual refer to? Are they referring to the
opening of the cabinet under the sink?

For the disposers that I have installed, I have chosen to mount the switch
above the counter so I don't have to open the cabinet, bend down to use
the switch, etc. However what I made sure to do was the mount the switch
in an "isolated" spot so that it wouldn't be confused with light switch,
etc.

The Insinkerator owner's manual allows either cord and plug or permanent connection.

From the instructions, so it would be required to meet code:
***
This disposer requires a switch (15 amp minimum rating) with a marked "Off" position (wired to disconnect all ungrounded supply connectors) installed within sight of the disposer sink opening, except if using an air switch or batch feed accessory.

It sounds like your switch would meet the requirements. I have seen many that do not.
