F5 is refresh

F2 is rename, good.
F3 is search / search again - oops no its open file or something.
F5 is refresh - oops copy file? no.

I really hope there is a fix for this because Vista explorer needs replaced...

Maybe I'm just extra geeky but F6 is 'put cursor in url'
or not...

I'll need this one fixed too...

solution: get the professional version which allows you to change keys

I agree.F5 should be refresh. That is Windows Standard. Not only for Windows Explorer, but Internet Explorer, third-party apps like Firefox. Almost every app I can think of that has a refresh command, has F5 as the hotkey for it.

So, yes, although Control-R might seem like a logical hotkey for Refresh, since other apps all use F5 for Refresh, and users are used to that, Xplorer2 should use that hotkey as well.

Nope--not a satisfactory response--to say "upgrade to Pro so you could change the hotkeys". X2 should use by default the standard hotkey for refresh-F5. If some users of the pro version wish to change it to something else, they may do so.
