Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
Thank you for the bug report, however, it is something that is sub-optimal but we do not have a good solution to this and F5 is in most cases the best option.

Mostly only power users will override F5, and most power users will either already know how to refresh or know what F5 normally does.

We could change it to Ctrl+R, but on Mac it's Command+R.

I am going to flag this as Wont-Fix, but it's not that we will never fix it, it's that its very minor and until enough of our users loose their F-keys or rebind them, we'll put the brain power to come up with a better solution.

Thanks!

What I mean is, when you are using ChromeOS:

F5 does not exist- chromeOs does not have FKeys.

If you use a normal keyboard, then F3 is the refresh.

On ChromeOS it should show F3 of Refresh key instead of F5.
