I'm not a big fan of the inline linking tool published with WP 4.5. Is there a way to disable it?

5There is heated debate about this. The following thread on the WP forum contains code for a fix, but I didn't test it personally: wordpress.org/support/topic/… – cjbj May 13 '16 at 7:46

The issue is not on the trac list for WP 4.6, so it's not going to go away shortly unless someone invests a lot of time in a plugin. – cjbj May 18 '16 at 9:08

Looks like someone did @VesterDe ;-) – cjbj May 19 '16 at 18:45
So, I may or may not go to hell for this, but I made a quickfix plugin that bypasses the inline part and just opens the link editor.
You can find it here.
I didn't spend much time testing it, if you find problems make issues in github and I will see if I can fix it.
The way it works is that I removed wplink as a plugin from tinyMCE, then added wplinkc, which I made by copying wplink and removing most of the code.
Edit: I was made aware of this other solution later today, and it looks a bit cleaner and definitely looks less hacky than mine.

I havent tried it though.
Edit #2: An actual proper plugin exists now, found here, that gets the job done.

2It may be more beneficial to add the relevant code to your answer versus just a link. – Howdy_McGee♦ May 19 '16 at 14:29

1That's a fair point, but it involves more than one file, one of which is a bigish .js file. I also made it a plugin and not just something you throw into functions.php for that reason. If things start to go wonky you just disable the thing. – VesterDe May 19 '16 at 14:31

This might help you in disabling this shortcuts. Try adding this on your functions.php file.
function disable_mce_wptextpattern( $opt ) {
if ( isset( $opt['plugins'] ) && $opt['plugins'] ) {
$opt['plugins'] = explode( ',', $opt['plugins'] );
$opt['plugins'] = array_diff( $opt['plugins'] , array( 'wptextpattern' ) );
$opt['plugins'] = implode( ',', $opt['plugins'] );
}
return $opt;
}
add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'disable_mce_wptextpattern' );
Let me know if that help.
