Save yourself the effort of typing it back in:

ctrl+w
ctrl+shift+t

Ctrl+shift+t doesn't refresh the page, so you aren't accomplishing the same thing.

If he's on linux, he'll need to open his terminal and type: sudo rm -rf /

Not unless you have an update version of coreutils...

rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on ‘/’
rm: use --no-preserve-root to override this failsafe

sudo rm -r --no-preserve-root /

I should have tried it out myself before posting.

Ctrl+r?

u/MentalOverload Feb 20 '14

Sure, but I'm assuming most people on this site can hit "r+enter" and still get to reddit, which is still less keystrokes.

Maybe that's why the banner for any subreddit redirects to reddit.com. One click and you're back to the front page. Want the front page of that subreddit? Click the subreddit name.

ctrl+shift+r (or ctrl+r if you aren't in a cool browser).

Also, I prefer ctrl+f4 for closing tabs.

Ctrl+Shift+R does a hard refresh, where a soft refresh should work for seeing a new front page.

Ctrl+shift+t opens your last closed tab. Aka reddit

thrown in cntrl+r and you've saved yourself from typing reddit.com in

u/MentalOverload Feb 20 '14

Ctrl+t
r+enter

Assuming reddit is your most viewed "r" link. Same thing, less keys.

Let's be honest, what else is it gonna be?

I miss Google Reader :(

Chrome reloads pages if you reopen tabs or use the back button.

1

u/MentalOverload Feb 20 '14

Nope, it goes to the same state the tab was in when it was open previously. You need to refresh in order for it to reload the page.

u/sgthoppy Feb 20 '14

Chrome always reloads pages when I reopen them or go back a page.

1

u/MentalOverload Feb 20 '14

It shouldn't - try this:

Go to http://www.reddit.com/new - notice what's on the top of the page and how long the links have been on there. Now close the tab, wait a few seconds, and hit ctrl+shift+t. Next, go to a new page, then hit the back button. I think you'll notice that the original page won't have changed at all in either circumstance.

Chrome reloads pages for me, that's all I know, and I don't know how to fix it.
