Are there browser configuration settings or other ways to make a single press of the F5 key preform a hard refresh of the currently loaded page? Ordinarily hard refresh is achieved via pressing Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl-Shift-R but I would like to remove the extra key requirements and preform it on just F5 alone.

This could be done with a macro if you're willing to set it up. You could use Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center and setup the macro with that. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/mouse-and-keyboard-center-download-f5b10905-7887-eedb-2f1c-d0737a36a3b2

Then press the Windows Start button and tap on ‘Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center’

Step 1: Now using the Hotkeys tab, tap on ‘create/add new hotkey. You can then move to an existing hotkey from the list to reassign it another function

Step 2: Choose the key you like to make a hotkey

Step 3: Now from the command list, choose a command for your new hotkey.

Step 4: Tap ‘OK’ to create your hotkey.

  • Thank you. It seem setting up a hotkey is the only way. I am on linux so I used a program called Autokey and it was a different process to set it up but same concept. – FoamyGuy Sep 29 '21 at 14:32
