Not only it would not reload the page, it would retweet the currently selected tweet. It was silly.

But what's really silly is that the browser actually allows a webpage to override such a basic shortcut like F5.

Twitter also once hooked CTRL+F (find in windows) so it can favor the currrent tweet. Horrible.

That sounds like a deliberate dark pattern. Try to reload? Retweeted. Looking for something? Favorited.
