I work with a bunch of windows developers and our app is a web application. I was often told I need to "refresh" my windows, and it seems there are many ways to "refresh", and each has a different function (refresh cache, reload javascript, etc, etc). I was told to:
- press F5 or right click refresh
- Ctrl-F5, Shift-F5, Ctrl+Shift-F5 (no alt-F5 yet ;-)) or
- right click, then shift+refresh, ctrl+refresh, ctrl+shift+refresh
Ok, I am confused! Can someone please shed some light to this? Where can I find a definitive list of meaning for the different F5/refresh combinations. I researched but yield no good answer...
Thanks in advance!
Sorry, I should have mentioned it is for IE9 or 10
CTRL+F5
is the default shortcut to refresh web content in all the major browsers on Windows and/or the contents of an explorer window.F5
, nothing more complicated than that, but when you're dealing with a custom application that someone built, you'd have to speak with them. If I wanted to I could map theJ
key to be refresh in an application.
