Which method of refreshing do you use? The three sources of refreshing I know of are F5, Ctrl + R, and clicking the button. I've always used F5, but I press refresh occasionally when browsing the internet, F5 is more accessible in any program though. I can honestly say I've never intentionally used Ctrl + R, I did it once on accident, WON'T EVER FUCKING HAPPEN AGAIN

All my f keys had stupid functions assigned to them (well, not all stupid) that weren't the normal functions.
I have to press the fn key then f5 to refresh. So I mostly click the refresh button.
I didn't even know about ctrl+R :P

To refresh, I usually drink a Coor's light.

Over a year ago I used the button, but I learned that the f5 is much more convenient.

I use F5 mostly, but if my mouse happens to be right next to the button, I might just click it.
I didn't know about the Ctrl+R thing though. Remember when we were little, and people would be like "You know if you press F5 you get 5934075349gold???" And then if you don't already know about F5, you lose all progress in your game? I think Ctrl+R could revive this joke.

I don't use F5 much a tall, I just hit the button, which is weird because I have a laptop so you would expect me to hit F5 more.

I find a bath the best way to 'refresh' after a stressful day.

I don't pressing the refresh button, I'll usually just click the link again or press the home button then the back button.

Except that you cannot interact with certain flash and java applets without a mouse.

For the most part, F5 when I'm using windows. Although sometimes it seems to have no effect if the page is failing to load and I want to refresh, so I'll either click the refresh button or hit enter in the address bar.

F5 is the easiest option though.
