    if (e.ctrlKey && e.keyCode === 13) {
        return false;
    }

The full code is:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.0.js"></script>

<script>

$(window).load(function(){

    // Disable CTRL Mouse Click    
    $('a').click(function (e){  
      if (e.ctrlKey) {
        return false;
      }
    })

    // Disable SHIFT Mouse Click    
    $('a').click(function (e){  
      if (e.shiftKey) {
        return false;
      }
    })

})

</script>

The code that you have disables Ctrl+enter. To disable Ctrl+click, you would use the click event:

$('a').click(function (e){  
    if (e.ctrlKey) {
        return false;
    }
});

Note: Actually disabling ctrl+click would normally not be a good idea, and not very effective. In windows it's used to open the page in a new tab, and if that is disabled you can just use shift+click to open it in a new window instead, or right click and choose Open link in new tab.
