Visual Studio 2015: Disable Control+Click Navigation

After upgrading to Visual Studio 2015, holding control while clicking on a symbol navigates to that symbol definition. In prior versions, this would instead select the entire word.

How can I disable the navigation event when CTRL + Click(ing) a symbol, so that it highlights the word?

I do have Resharper (Ultimate 9.2) installed. The configuration option under Environment -> Search & Navigation -> Go to Declaration on Control + Click in the editor is not checked.

All the search engine results make mention of this being a feature of the Productivity Power Tools extensions in previous versions of Visual Studio. I do not have that extension installed.

An update for Productivity Power Tools + VS2017. Instead of having settings for this feature, a separate plugin gets installed. So after installing PPTs, you'll have a new extension called Ctrl+Click Go To Definition. Not sure why we need that tool considering it's baked into VS, but...

Anyway, Disabling that extension (plus the other things mentioned in other comments for VS and Resharper) fixed my ctrl+click woes.

In vs 2017 this setting is available in Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> General -> Enable mouse click to perform Go to Definition.

You can uncheck it!

Go to ReSharper Options > Environment > Search & Navigation, then uncheck the following options:

  • Rich mouse navigation in the editor
  • Enable 'Smart go to declaration'

I finally solved it following the info I found on this page..

With Resharper Ultimate 2016.3.1, I could fix the issue by disabling "Rich mouse navigation in the editor". It can be found in Resharper Options window, under Environment > Search & Navigation. Maybe updating Resharper could solve the issue.

Also, Productivity Power Tools is not installed on my machine.

Ensure you are using Visual Studio as your resharper keyboard scheme.

Environment -> Keyboard & Menus

enter image description here

Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard

To stop the go to declaration, select it and input a new key short cut for it. In this image I have demonstrated that I changed this short cut to ctr num 1 and could not change it to ctr num 3. On testing crt click does not no take me to the declaration.

enter image description here

Find the shortcut you want to remove, in this case Edit.NavigateTo and remove.
