Both reload one tab: the one you’re on.
TabCmdr's way
Reload the whole window with TabCmdr
TabCmdr is a keyboard launcher that lives in your browser. Its Reload All Tabs command reloads every tab in the window you’re in.
Before you start: add TabCmdr from the Chrome Web Store. It has a 7-day free trial and needs no account.
Step 1: Open the palette in that window
Press ⌘+K on a Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux.
Step 2: Type reload
Three commands show up:
- Reload Page reloads the tab you’re on.
- Reload All Tabs reloads every tab in this window.
- Hard Reload (Clear Cache) reloads the tab you’re on without its cached files.
reload lists the three reload commands.Step 3: Choose Reload All Tabs and press Enter
Press ↓ to move to Reload All Tabs, or type reload all so it’s the top row, then press Enter. The palette closes and the tabs reload.
What gets reloaded
- Every tab in the window you’re in, including pinned tabs and the tab you’re on.
- Not your other windows. Their tabs aren’t touched.
- A normal reload, not a hard one. Use Hard Reload (Clear Cache) for that, one tab at a time.
Each page reloads as if you’d done it yourself, so save or send anything you’re typing first.
