After glancing at the VS Code keyboard shortcuts documentation, I stumbled upon a comprehensive list of approved keys.

Typically, you would navigate to File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts and insert your personalized bindings as follows:
(referencing the keybindings.json file located at C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Code\User)
// Customize your key bindings in this document to override the defaults
[
{ "key": "f8", "command": "workbench.action.tasks.build" },
{ "key": "ctrl+[mouse button]", "command": "cursorWordLeft",
"when": "editorTextFocus" }
]
However, disappointingly, it appears that mouse reconfiguration is not supported according to the guidelines.
Nevertheless, since VS Code is an open source initiative, you have the option to suggest this functionality or contribute to its development!
Below is the configuration file for the editor.
