I really do enjoy using MP3TAG and recently upgraded to version 3.2.1. However I have since found the F5 key to be redundant and have to use View\>Refresh from the menu every time the current open directory list has changed. Has anyone else had this problem or is it only me? The menu still shows the F5 as a shortcut and it's a very handy shortcut for me.

Works fine over here.  
Have you got any other program running that intercepts the keyboard input?

No. I usually only have my browser open with YouTube, Mixxx and and my File Explorer. But even with them all closed , which was never necessary in the previous version, F5 still doesn't refresh the files.

If you press F5 on this online keyboard test website:

> **[Key-Test - keyboard test online](https://keyboard-test.space/)**
>
> Check your keyboard in your browser

does this keyboard key appears as pressed?
