I tried to find unique shortcuts keys combination using function keys on different platforms (windows, mac, linux ) but no success. Any combination of function keys with either of (or some of them together) Alt, Ctrl, Shift conflict with either browser functionality or with window functionality (like resize, move, minimize, maximize etc).
And regarding Ctrl+F5, it is for hard refresh on some browsers.
