Actually, just moving my cursor into the window and typing control-R
does the "reload" part of what I need. What I'm looking for is the
"remote" part. When I'm editing page content or CSS or whatever, I've
got a special save command in my editor that finds the install script
for the part of the website that I'm working on and runs it. I'd like to
add an option to that script that will also tell Firefox to reload the
page it's currently displaying so that I can see my changes instantly
when I save, without having to move the cursor and type control-R every
time. When tweaking CSS, for example, I might be making making a change
every couple of seconds, and the move-and-control-R-and-move-back
routine can start to eat a significant percentage of my time.
