Update current list on keyboard shortcut

Jordan, could you please, add possibility to update current list with defined keyboard shortcut in customized user interface?
That update button at the top is very tiny, and with "automatic update", we still need to click several times between tabs, to get list really updated. Keyboard shortcut to update list would be perfect.

Thank you so much...
