<Ctrl> reload works for me.

Right, but telling your viewers to do that every time isn't a very viable
option.

Why not?  A simple phrase:  Press <Ctrl> and click on "Reload".  Why is that
not viable?  Why is that less viable than any of lots of other keystroke mouse
combinations?

No offense, but give your users some credit!
