With the Firefox web developer toolbar I can select "Miscellaneous → Clear private data → Cache". Is there a way to do the same with a keyboard shortcut?
Edit: I am also using vimperator to drive Firefox with the keyboard; just found out that it's possible using: :emenu Extra.Web Developer.Miscellaneous.Clear Private Data.Cache
.
If you are using Internet Explorer, Edge, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox you can quickly clear cache with a keyboard shortcut. While in your browser, press Ctrl + Shift + Delete simultaneously on the keyboard to open the appropriate window.
In most computer-based web browsers, to open menus used to clear your cache, cookies, and history, press Ctrl-Shift-Delete (Windows) or Command-Shift-Delete (Mac).
To hard refresh on Firefox on Windows, there are also two easy hotkey commands you can use: Hold down Ctrl, Shift and the 'R' key. Or Hold down Ctrl and press F5.
I think Ctrl+Shift+Delete takes out all private data, including the cache. Heres a link that'll tell you how to set up specific options.
You can also reload and clear cache for a certain page with
Cmd + Shift + R
on a mac, or
Ctrl + F5
on a windows/linux machine.
(these are additions to the plain reload shortcuts Cmd+R / F5)
