I know that F5 is a one button press, but my thumb is usually down by the ⌘-key anyways and then R is on the actual keyboard that I use regularly... it just seems harder to look for the F5 key when I really don't use it for all that much.
Shortcuts for everything, I've become accustomed to them since I'm always in one editing program or another, it's really a time saver. Now if we're talking scroll wheel or bar, I'll take the bar any day. Just sayin'.
Me too. And if people are using my computer and don't use ⌘ + Q to close a program, I flip out."
I don't flip out, but me personally, I find that most Windows users do not use keyboard shortcuts like Mac OS users do. They seems to be a lot more reliant on the menus and mouse. I am not saying it is wrong, I think that is just how they were trained but personally, I find that using keyboard shortcuts a lot easier!

F5 is for pros. As is CTRL+S. What it really boils down to though is what would take the least amount of work to get to. If I'm already typing I may press F5 but if my mouse is near File or something I might as well just press Refresh.
If I'm just refreshing once, I'll typically click the button. If it's something I'm refreshing repeatedly for whatever reason, I'll press F5.
As for saving, I habitually press Ctrl+S...all the time...even in applications where it doesn't work. If I've typed something longer than a sentence, I'll almost always reach for Ctrl+S.
