Bug Description

On Chromebooks instead of function keys there are special buttons such as forward/backwards/reload. Under Chrome/Firefox the XF86Reload, XF86Back, and XF86Forward keys trigger the appropriate function to happen in the browser. They do not currently do this under Midori.

You cannot simply edit the shortcut extension to add this because it only offers to replace the existing binding - not add these in addition to it. So ideally both XF86Reload and ctrl+r should trigger a page refresh.

Would it be possible to have these commands recognized by default? It would greatly improve Midori's user experience on Chromebooks with Linux.
