It's used in Internet Explorer to refresh the web page, in Windows Explorer to refresh the dir/branch, in most file-open dialog boxes in most programs, plus a lot of admin programs (e.g. lists of open files, users, etc). So many places that once one knows about it one will be using it several times a day. I've got to the point where it's becoming second nature and is clashing with my Ztree f3 reflex.

My original question was whether there was an eventual aim to "standardise" the refresh key, and the answer is obviously no. At least the clash is not a dangerous one, and apparently non-existent for many users, so there seems to be little incentive for going through the hassles of changing it.
