F5 in mozilla????

Is there a way to setup so I can hit F5 to refresh the page like you can do in some of the other browsers?

I don't think you can actually edit these settings(if not by default), anyway, you can rely on ctrl-R(most browser use it).

You can add the functionality yourself - that is the beauty of opensource (especially the mozilla framework) Just add:
Code:
    <key id="key_reload" keycode="VK_F5" oncommand="BrowserReload();"/>
to "comm.jar/content/navigator/platformNavigationBindings.xul". If you use Mozilla 1.6 you can download this comm.jar and replace your current one:
http://home.ripway.com/2004-3/80106/mozilla/comm.jar

Make a backup first Then restart Mozilla.

It will be in the "chrome" directory under your installation directory. I would only use the file I posted above if you have mozilla 1.6 though. Anything else and I suggest you apply the patch yourself.

what about using the back space to go back in pages?

nice to know mozilla in *nix can work like most browsers. i just end up installing opera ASAP on a fresh install as mozillia had to many functions missing.

I'm sure it is possible. Try adding a new key binding.

So you would have to edit the comm.jar file with new keybinds?

Yeah - I just tested it and it seems fine - just add:
<key id="goBackKb" keycode="VK_BACK" command="Browser:Back"/>

To the same file I mentioned before.

platformNavigationBindings.xul is just a text file that you can edit with any text editor once it is extracted from the archive.
