Is there a way to reload a Google Chrome tab in Ubuntu using just the terminal. I don't want to just open a new window, but to actually refresh a tab!
Extra question: Is this possible in other browsers as well such as Opera, Safari, Firefox.

Keyboard shortcut to reload tabs is bound to Alt - Shift - R. Reload all tabs in all windows (enabled via options)
To do a hard refresh on Google Chrome on Mac, there are two ways that you can do it: Hold down Shift and click the Reload button. Or Hold down Command, Shift and click the 'R' key.
Go to Desktop > Applications. Type Terminal in the search bar and click on the first result. Or you can skip the lengthy process and open a new Terminal session by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard. This will load up Google Chrome with the default homepage.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xdotool
DISPLAY=:0 xdotool key F5
That's all you need.
