Is there a Firefox keyboard shortcut to clear the cache?

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.

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)
