F5

Browser refresh key

F5 is the fifth function key on a computer keyboard, most commonly used to refresh or reload a webpage.

Pressing F5 updates the current page to show the latest content: I kept hitting F5 to see if the tickets had gone on sale.

The gesture has become synonymous with anxious refreshing—waiting for news, results, or inventory drops.
