F5 for Reload/Refresh
Last modified: 2005-08-28 23:23:13 UTC
It would be really helpful if we have the same option for reload or refresh as in Firefox.... I mean F5. In the listing of firefox its Ctrl+r but it refreshes the web page with F5 and getting used to the same option will be much easier. Even windows users will find it much easier if they we use F5 for Refresh. Other information:

Comment on attachment 46002 [details] [review] nautilus reloads on F5 hotkey You can't simply replace the "Ctrl-R" binding. It is used for all desktop applications as suggested by the HIG [1]. [1] http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/userinput.html
Thanks for your bug report. As stated above, the patch you submitted is not suitable for inclusion, though. We could add the "F5" keybinding, while preserving the current one (Ctrl-R).
Comment on attachment 45977 [details] [review] Nautilus Refresh/Reload Patch I have consider only the F5 key but working on Ctrl+R and F5 both just like mozilla... but needs-work on the same. But i never got any make error...!!! But be some prob with your source code!
Pradeep: Are you still willing to rework your patch? Just do the same as we do with ZoomAccel/ZoomAccel2, and don't forget to change the xml file.
