[QGIS-Developer] The future of the F5 shortcut...

Hi All,

There is a conflict between the "Refresh" action and Plugin Reloader - both 
wants to use the F5 shortcut. 

I'm going to set the Plugin Reloader to use Ctrl-F5 and leave F5 for 
"Refresh", as it's a built-in function, known for years and designed for 
everyone, not just plugin devs. However... Maybe there is a common agreement 
that the plugin reloading is more important? ;) I don't know anybody 
refreshing the view frequently, while reloading plugins is a key action for 
all plugin devs. Actually I'll immediately swap those shortcuts in all my 
installations, and probably many plugin devs will do the same. 

Anyway, I suppose F5 should stay for map reloading (unfortunately), but if 
anybody thinks otherwise, please let me know.

Regards,

Borys
