Following on the heels of #21506, I feel that the default click action for *nix users should not be alt-click, but ctrl-click.

What's odd is I only see references to ctrl-click in the issue, but somehow...

Alt-click is mapped by default in Ubuntu window manager to move windows, so alt-click in this case does nothing (or rather, it moves the vscode window)

Perhaps this is more a question than a bug, but:

1. Is this configurable in settings.json, so it is ctrl-click?
2. If not, can the default be changed to ctrl-click so it functions on Ubuntu at least?

Oh! I face similar issue. Every links in VSCode show the message to press Alt and click link. But it doesn't work on every link.

I've tried to press Alt and click on every link but it does nothing.

Use on VSCode 1.14.2. Ubuntu 16.10

@Tyriar do you think we should make the default as ctrl on *inx?

This is the case when you use "editor.multiCursorModifier": "ctrlCmd", this is only the case because there was a bug reported that multiCursorModifier should change ctrl+click links in the terminal as well.

I think the real fix here is to support real mouse customization.
