I usually use the CTRL+click combination to select one word, but in Visual Studio 2017 (15.4) when I press CTRL the word is turned into a hyperlink that goes to its definition, I want to disable it:
Ctrl-click Go To Definition To quickly navigate to the definition of a symbol, press the Ctrl key and then click on it. It's that easy!
Visual Studio Go To Definition The Go To Definition feature navigates to the source of a type or member and opens the result in a new tab. Using Keyboard, place your cursor on the member name and press F12. Using the mouse, right-click on the member name and select Go To Definition from the menu.
In Visual Basic, Peek Definition shows a link to the Object Browser for symbols that don't have definition metadata (for example, . NET types that are built in).
Tools->Options->Text Editor->General
Uncheck Enable mouse click to perform Go to definition
It will work
This setting has no effect when the "Ctrl+Click Go To Definition" Extension from Microsoft Marketplace is installed. The setting specified on the extension documentation page wasn't visible in the Options, Productivity Power Tools, Other Extensions, and hence, masked the real problem. Uninstalling the extension allows reverting to classic Ctrl+Click select behavior.
