Refresh the page in the browser without re-submitting the form

I am an ASP.NET developer, and as a rule, I leave the web page that I open in my browser (Chrome is my browser, but this question is relevant to any browser). My workflow, as a rule, is as follows: I write the code, I rebuild my project in Visual Studio, and then return it to my browser using Alt-Tab and press F5 to refresh the page.

This is normal and dandy if the form has not been submitted since the page was opened. But if I click on the ASP.NET form controls, the page publishes the form several times, so pressing F5 causes the browser to (intelligently) call up a confirmation message, for example, "Confirm re-application form: the page in which you are looking for the information that you entered. .. ".

Sometimes I want to resubmit the form, but most often I want to start from the page (instead of resubmitting the form data). As I usually wrap this around, just add some query string data to the URL so that the browser sees it as a new page request, for example:

page.aspx

becomes

 page.aspx?

(or vice versa).

My question is: is there a better way to quickly request a new version of a web page (and not send form data) in any of the major browsers? It seems to me that it’s not easy for me to do web development, but maybe something is missing. What I would like to see is something like the last item on this list:

  • F5: refresh page
  • Ctrl-F5: refresh page (and activate cache update)
  • Alt-F5: request a new copy of the page without resubmitting the form

Yes, just focus on the address bar and press enter.

In Chrome, you can use Ctrl-L to focus on the address bar, as well as on the suggestions made above.
