Ctrl-F5 on Internet Explorer and Firefox refreshes the page but causes the browser to pull everything again from the server. Useful when a page does not load properly and F5 won’t help.

I have been using the left Alt key for ages to open the menu bar. Exactly the same as what F10 does. Ctrl-N opens as new window. Its content depends on what has the focus. If it is an Explorer window you get a new window having the same contents of whatever was open. In the desktop you get an Explorer window of the desktop. In Firefox you get a new window (not tab) with your home page. In Intenet Explorer you get a new window (not tab) with the current page. In Thunderbird you get a blank mail composing page, in MS Office applications you get a new window with a blank document…. you get my drift.

I know a lot of keyboard shortcuts, but the Ctrl-Shift-N one has eluded me all these years. Thanks!
