How can I force Safari to perform a full page reload, without using the mouse?
Problem
I'm using Safari to preview web pages as I develop them on my local server. I've got 'Disable Caches' checked in the Develop menu. And yet Safari is still working from a cached version of a stylesheet that's linked from the HTML file being displayed. I can sometimes override this by Option-clicking the reload button in the location bar, but I want to refresh the page automatically when I save the CSS file. At the moment I'm doing it using an AppleScript that's bound to the Save action in my text editor. I could see using Keyboard Maestro instead. But I need some consistent way to force Safari to do a full reload from the keyboard.

Enable the menu from . On Safari version 11.1 and above : CMD+OPTION+R reloads the page ignoring cache. On Safari version 9 and above : CMD+SHIFT+R reloads the page ignoring cache. Emptying caches seems not to reload the stylesheets everytimes… On Safari below version 9 : Empty cache and then reload so full "hot key" would be : CMD+OPTION+E Then CMD+R to refresh the page Of course probably turning opening and closing a from the would also work but…
