How to remap the Ctrl+Click "Go To Definition" short-key in the Productivity Power Tools (or maybe ReSharper)
Solution 1
Try going to ReSharper | Options -> Environment | Search & Navigation
and turning off Go to declaration on <Control + Left click> in editor
.
Solution 2
I don't have ReSharper. But I was able to turn this off in Visual Studio 2012. I found it in Tools - Options - Productivity Power Tools - Ctrl+Click Go To Definition.
Solution 3
Try menu Tools → Options → Productivity Power Tools (left menu) → Turn it off where it says Ctrl + Click Go To Definition on your right side.

I love the Productivity Power Tools extension for visual studio, however it has added the Ctrl+Click "Go To Definition" functionality, which is great and all, but my workflow makes me use the functionality when I don't want it.
When I want to copy something, I start marking some text, still holding down the mouse button, hold down Ctrl + C and then release the mouse button. The tool acknowledges this as a Go To Definition click, and I usually end up in the definition of String or whatever. I know I could just release the Ctrl button prior to the mouse-button; however, I have a hard time reconditioning myself from a habit I have had since forever.
Is there a way to remap the Ctrl + Click Go To Definition functionality, say, to Ctrl+Shift+Click? I know I can deactivate it by going to "Tools>Options>Productivity Power Tools>All Extensions"; however, I don't want to lose the functionality just make it work as I want it.

- This might be a ReSharper issue.

André C. Andersen over 11 yearsReSharper and the Productivity Power Tools (PPT) extension both added the same functionality. I turned it of in PPT, but it still persisted. Your suggestion removed it entirely, thanks. However, I really wanted to change the key combination not disable it. If no better answer comes within a day or two, I'll accept yours.

Jeroen van Langen over 10 yearsI still use F12 for that. CTRL + Click is anoying while navigating with the mouse and pasting... +1 for U!

Brian MacKay over 7 yearsIn my case, I wanted ReSharper's version, but PPT was overriding it. I turned off ReSharper's implementation, then turned off PPT's version, then restarted VS. Finally, I turned ReSharper's implementation back on. This worked for me.
