I think you can use the WebDriver and Actions instance as below:

Actions actionObject = new Actions(driver);
actionObject.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys(Keys.F5).keyUp(Keys.CONTROL).perform‌();

I ran the above code. Unfortunately, the following exception was occurred: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Key Down / Up events only make sense for modifier keys.

Ctrl is a modifier key but F5 is not. You probably want to use actionObject.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys(Keys.F5).keyUp(Keys.CONTROL).perform();

Thanks. The above code is helpful for me. "The method perform‌() is undefined for the type Actions" : this error was shown on above code. Small modified code is as below: actionObject.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).sendKeys(Keys.F5).perform();
