Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This is a usability issue. When I have a queue, blob container, or table open, I frequently need to refresh the view to see the latest information. The standard convention is to allow for the F5 keyboard shortcut to do this, but this does not appear to be bound to the 'refresh' action. Instead, I have to use the mouse to click on the 'Refresh' icon on the toolbar. If I am heavily keyboard-focused (which is often the case when I am writing code and switching windows to view the results in Storage Explorer) this is quite frustrating.
Describe the solution you'd like
Please create a new keyboard shortcut to bind the F5 key to the 'refresh' action.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing Refresh toolbar action and the keyboard-shortcut registrations used by the queue, blob container, and table views. Done means pressing F5 invokes the same refresh behavior in each named view without requiring the toolbar, with coverage added if the project has tests for these actions.
