They say, “Its the little things in life”, and this is one of those little things that makes me smile when I use it. I was complaining to Dan about this and he quite easily walked me through how to make this happen.
I know that ‘command – R’ is the Mac equivalent to F5 for a browser refresh, but I’m just so used to F5 (and I like just hitting one key), so I really wanted to have F5 work as the reload button. For the first month of owning my Mac, I hit F5, nothing happened, and then I begrudgingly grabbed the mouse and clicked the refresh button.
I do my fair share of web projects, so I’m constantly refreshing pages.
One of the most annoying things to me about switching over to OSX was that F5 no longer did a full refresh.
