Web browser refresh option

[Luis fortanet]

Hi friends..

Web browser could have the possibility to refresh page with a option in the menu web or in the upper dropwn to down.

Good job.

Thanks.

There is already a refresh action, to the left of the address bar when it’s focused.

@Luis: doesn’t that suit your needs? What else would you suggest?

[Luis fortanet (luis-fortanet)]

Hi Olivier,

Yes, but you have to do two steps, similar to the others browsers.

But the others browsers give you the possibilitie with one movement to refresh the page (for example: upper drop to down and F5 key) or with 2 movements (select main menu and refresh option and also focus the address and refresh).

Of four normal options, we have only one way, and not very practice.

For me the option, upper drop to down to refresh would be cool.

It's only a idea.

Thanks

This would conflict with the design specification that binds opening a new tab to this gesture (not implemented yet, see bug #1377112).

Adding an ubuntu-ux task to get the design team to comment on the idea.

Thank you for the great job.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Also note that we have had keyboard shortcuts for a while, so if you have a physical keyboard attached, F5 or Ctrl+R will refresh the current page.

Ok...thanks Olivier.

I too, would like a touch-friendly refresh option. I totally failed to discover the select address bar then refresh option having looked for a button both left and right of the address bar and stared at the menu options several seconds in disbelief at not findung it there.

The pull down from top suggested by Luis would suit me but perhaps a 'more Ubuntu' (and more discoverable) way would be the widget at the bottom of the screen such as the Ask Ubuntu app has?
