Visual Studio 2017 15.4 - Ctrl+Click

Question

Since I started using Visual Studio with 2003, holding down control and clicking a piece of text would highlight that word allowing for easy copying and pasting. This was the case until I updated to 15.4. Now the same action turns the word into a hyperlink and takes me to its definition (the same way F12 would).

Does anyone know how to change this to behave the way it has for the last 14+ years?

Answer 1

1. Open Options -> Text Editor -> General
2. Uncheck Enable mouse click to perform Go to Definition

This definitely turns this behavior off, but I don't know how to go back to VS 2003 behavior, because I've been using Ctrl+Click to go to definition for a long time with extensions.

BTW, I use double click to select word and triple click to select line.
