Shift+F10 H R works

I realize that's not a shortcut, but is this really something people do that often?

For some people using framed webapps, yes. Something along the lines of Alt + R
to refresh the focused frame (similar to opera) would be useful for users
migrating browsers.

Indeed, I think it could also be useful for non-migrateting users, if a shortcut
existed and they knew about it. But definately, Opera has Alt+F5 for this
functionality.

Additionally, "Shift+F10 H R" does not work in every browser, since in localized
versions the access keys can be different. Actually, it might not even work in
an English version if the pop-up menu is modified and H is also assigned to one
of the new menu items above "T_h_is Frame >".
