Peek Definition (Disable)

Like everything in live, one can like or dislike something. One of new feature in Visual Studio 2013 is Peak Definition. This one is something I dislike to be honest. Someone will say, then don’t use it when you don’t like it. That is true, but one of the visual studio extensions “Productivity Power Tools” adds one more way to see the Peek Definition Window. Default shortcut from Visual Studio to access it is Alt + F12, ReSharper adds a shortcut but luckily harder to hit it by mistake Ctrl + Shift + Click, but this extension adds one more which is bothering. The shortcut is Ctrl + Click. That means when you want to open the file where some type is defined, instead of opening, you get the Peek window.
For ones that this shortcut is bothering here is the way how to disable it:
- From Visual Studio open Tools/Options and then navigate to Productivity Power Tools
