Reliable starters... First one getting no hits was a bit of a surprise, though.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

...who put F4 (close) next to F5 (refresh).

F4 isn't "close" unless an idiot designed the UI - CTRL+F4 is "small close" (one browser page for example), but "close app" is normally ALT-F4
I had this discussion 40-odd years ago when someone designed a keyboard layout with "clear all" on the key between "Left" and Right"*.

but frequently I use ctrl f5 to hard refresh to the server and cause a rerender of the page and then ctrl f4 does some very bad things.

Hi, perhaps some IBM chap? I remember in OS/2, F3 was the "Exit" key (sometimes with a half-open door as the icon) so that made F4 and F5 the next two next available keys 
|
|
|
|
|
The F3 for close/exit was migrated from the old IBM terminals, which had the function keys in a 12 key pad on the right where the Num-pad is now; with [F1][F2][F3] on the top row.
Nothing succeeds like a budgie without teeth.
To err is human, to arr is pirate.

Probably the same one who put "Rebuild All" directly under "Build". But now that I've switched to CMake/Ninja, I don't care that much.

That's so funny, because I just cursed that option this week too. As a matter of fact, I hit "refresh" and was like, "hey where'd my tab go?"
Only after my stupidity wore off (oh, I hit F4) did I get appropriately angry. 
Also, I never did this when I was younger -- I could see the F-keys much better. So it's probably an indicator of age.

Function keys made sense when they were still grouped in sets of 4 (F1-F4, F5-F8, F9-F12).
Since most keyboards now bunch them all together, you're much more likely to hit the wrong ones if you don't take your eyes away from the monitor to look at the keyboard. Because I knew where the gap was, I could simply feel without looking whether I was about to hit F1, F2, F3 or F4. Now it's a crapshoot, and I usually get it wrong.
This grouping existed for a reason...

They made even more sense when they were in two columns on the left.

Probably the same idiot who put C next to V on the keyboard! How many time have I clicked [ctrl] - C when I meant to click [ctrl] - V and so clearing the contents of the clipboard that I was trying to paste!

Yep. And "X" on it'#s other side ...

Heh, I don't have that problem anymore in Windows(on my own computer). I grew up using WordStar control sequences so I wrote an AutoHotKey script that lets me use the WordStar sequences on all the editors/word processors I use. I've also switched some keys to put the Ctrl key where the Caps Lock key is. Now if there was only an AutoHotKey clone for Linux I'd be stylin!

I learned WordStar in the early 80's, and I have continued to use editors with WordStar key mappings ever since. My fingers know where to go. I once counted up that using Ctrl keys, I can do 14 operations that are one key or two (with the Ctrl key held down, of course). Currently I use an editor called joe which comes with a version jstar which uses WordStar key mapping. It is a great editor that runs on Linux. I don't know if it runs on Windows.

I took a look and there is a Windows port. Though I don't know if it does jstar under windows. I will be taking a look at it for Linux though.
My favorite text editor is JEdit. It's got tons of plugins, many which are useful for programmers. It's also configurable enough to do the WordStar control sequences.
