When I updated to the latest version of NuSphere, v19, a new issue started occurring. I commonly user ctrl + c, then left click to place cursor, then ctrl + v to paste.

Unfortunately, NuSphere is interpreting my commands as ctrl + left click, and it opens random files (I think it's trying to location the class or method that I am copying).

It's extremely annoying. I have to close random files at least 50 times a day. I've been using NuSphere since probably v4 or 5, never experienced this issue.

How do I disable ctrl + left click?

Ctrl-Click is a combination widely used to navigate to Declaration of what you clicked on.
So you may want to release Ctrl key before clicking or position the cursor using keyboard -- try bookmarks for example.

Is there a way to turn off "navigate to Declaration?"

sorry, no. Find Declaration can't be turned off

That's unfortunate. I've been using PhpIDE for 10 years and only recently has this become a problem. I'd say 1 out of 5 clicks opens a file for some random reason. Generally having nothing to do with the file I'm currently in. I can be in a PHP file and a click will open a JS file.

Find Declaration on Ctrl+Click was added more than 10 years ago. Can't help thinking what might be changed for you recently.
Is there chance you mean different product? Ours is not PhpIDE but PhpED. and the file is definitely not random, but the file where the object you clicked on is defined.

Sorry, PhpIDE was a typo on my part. I've been using PhpED since version 3.

The files are definitely random. I can be inside a php file and accidental ctrl + click will open a js file. I will try and get a screen recording of what I'm talking about next time I'm working.

I tried Ctrl+C, Left cursor set position, Ctrl+V.
Everything works just fine.

Steps:
- Use Ctrl+C,
- Do not push Ctrl anymore (get off Ctrl key),
- Position cursor,
- Use Ctrl+V.

btw it may have something to do with Accessibility thing that being turned on would hold Alt / Shift / Ctrl for you pressed after you've released it. In this case the results are less predicable, at least if you're not aware of this Windows feature

I sent a bug report on this behavior too, but no success in support.
It is definitely change in IDE since several months ago.
To reproduce try this ("real world example"):
1. Double click variable to select it, but do not release mouse button
2. Press CTRL-C, but do not release Ctrl button
3. Release mouse button
4. IDE jumps to var definition.

I've just installed ver. 18.0 and compared this situation and found the difference:
In ver. 19 Find declaration works if you press mouse down over variable, then press CTRL and then release mouse button.
In ver. 18 Find declaration do not work in such situation. You should first press CTRL to initialize Find declaration and then click variable.

Version 18 behavior is much more predictable and useful for me. And ver. 19's behavior is very annoying.

Sorry, but support works with PRO customers only -- the ones who paid for the support.
Please let me know if you have PRO and support didn't respond in 1 working day.




Honestly I don't see what benefits are brought by holding mouse down per p1. You could easily release it before pressing Ctrl.
Can you change pattern and do not hold it while pressing Ctrl key unless you want to navigate to declaration?

Indeed Jump To Declaration is triggered by Ctrl+Click. In pre-19 versions it worked on mouse down event.
In contrast most if not all the other mouse-driven controls work on mouse release event. Check for example regular push button or URL navigation in browser. They all proceed with your action only when you release the mouse button. That's why Cltr+Click (Jump To Declaration) was fixed too.
I think we can slightly improve situation and make false positives less probable by ignoring mouse release events if initially mouse down event delivered without Ctrl key flag.

I think you know the problem - there is no place to fill a bug report if you are not PRO customer. Support team say "Go to the forum", but forum says "do not post technical problems and bugs here"



It is mostly uncontrolled actions by two hands working together very fast and trained in a such way for many years. Fast double click on var name while pressing ctrl-c simultaneously.



I think Ctrl-click and Click+Ctrl (MouseDown+Ctrl+MouseUp) are different actions. In ver 19 both actions triggers Jump to declaration. In ver 18 only the first one.



Absolutely agree with you on this.



I will be very grateful for it. Thanks a lot!
