Change Shift+Click to open URL #368

Could you change the behavior of Tilda following URL? I don't want to accidentally have it opens URL when I click on it. There is no keybinding for this behavior.

Originally it was required to press CTRL to open a link but I found that to be difficult to discover for users so it was removed in this commit: d7d2b5ccf608e7c2f8188a5c0ce3233d1f96c7f6.

Not sure what would be a better usability solution but I am reluctant to just bring it back a different modifier key such as Shift.

Please bring it back (or add switch in preferences). Pressing Ctrl for opening links is used at least in mate-terminal (bet gnome-terminal has the same behavior). Right now even if I try to select part of an URL in Tilda, I end up with this URL opened in browser (Tilda 1.4.1 from ubuntu 18.04 repos).
