Disable the Research Pane shortcut

Is there a way to detach the CTRL-DoubleClick shortcut so that it doesn’t open
the “Research” Task Pane?  I have no use for that feature (or frankly for any of
the Task Panes -- I've always found them inefficient and pointlessly showy; but
that shortcut itself used to invoke the very useful Select Current Table
command.  MS seems to have unbound it without saying anything -- as if upward
compatibility is less important than furthering their apparent aim to enslave us
all to these confounded Task Panes sputter sputter fume fume....

Is there perhaps a registry hack to do this?  I don’t see a way to use
KeyBindings to get rid of the association, let alone reestablish it for
selecting the current table.

Thanks for any help.

I don't see Ctrl+Doube Click doing that for me but you are correct hat there
is no way of controlling the built in keyboard-mouse combinations and the
Alt+Click Research Pane one is a source of annoyance to many people, myself
included.
