Possible to disable breadcrumbs Ctrl+Click feature in address bar
-
I understand when you hold ctrl and click left mouse button in the addressbar you will be redirected to the level of the url that the mouse was pointing at.
I never want to do this and would like to disable it, is it possible?
Reason: I often need to select and copy part of a url, when working fast I will whip the mouse to the value I want to copy, double click to select it, then press ctrl+c to copy it. Problem is me pressing ctrl+c is either too fast, or happens while the mouse button is still being pressed, causing my page to load off somewhere I don't want (often losing unsaved work in the process).

@sventhebarbarian I don't know of any way to disable the feature, but I cannot reproduce your issue either. If I double-click to select a word to copy, it works as expected.
Even if I hold down Ctrl when double-clicking, the URL just reloads, it does not go up as it does with Ctrl+Left-click.

What is happening is generally the correct programmed behavior, ctrl+left click loads the url at the level you are pointing at.
My issue is I often press the ctrl (for ctrl+c) at the same time as clicking, because I move fast. I would like pressing ctrl to do nothing when clicking in the address bar.
Happens all the time for me, happened while typing this reply because I wanted to copy the current url, I pressed ctrl while triple clicking to select the url - it redirected me to the root forum.vivaldi.net location and lost the message I was typing..

@sventhebarbarian Enabling this checkbox will let you select the entire address with one left click.

Thanks, I have turned that off as in most cases I want to select a single value in the url.
The result is still the same though (just the number of clicks change). Because copying either the full url or a part of the url still requires a combination of click and pressing ctrl+c, these two colliding is where I often end up with an unwanted page load.
