Can you turn off Peek Definition in Visual Studio 2013 and up?


In Visual Studio 2013 and up, there is the Peek Definition feature when you Ctrl + Click. At first I thought this was cool, but I have found that the majority of the time, I need to click the Promote to Document button, since I make lots of changes to the files I Ctrl + Click on. But after Googling how to turn off Peek Definition, I can't find any details on if this is possible. What I would really like is for the Ctrl + Click functionality to go back to opening the definition in its own tab, like in previous versions of VS. Is this possible?
