Description
## Problem
It would be great to allow the user to manually refresh the data while the app is running.
## Proposal
This can be done with an accelerator action for `Ctrl+r`. We might also want to indicate refresh activity by showing a spinner animation (can be the same as in #171).
## Prior Art
Backend refresh triggers are already used after renaming a Task List. Maybe we can just use the same technique:

Also some accelerators (keyboard shortcuts) have already been implemented in `Tasks.MainWindow`, so we can use those to figure out how to create another one:
