Selenium IDE - sendKeys to page/body element

In Selenium IDE I'm trying to invoke some key shortcuts in browser. For example let's say I want to reload http://www.google.com page with:

Script passes, but is not working. Switching to any frame first also not working.

In webdriver I'm successfully using:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//body")).sendKeys(Keys.F12);

I'm aware of refresh command in IDE, but it won't solve my problem because what I really need to do is send different F1-12 keys...

Am I missing something?

I've also tried click first at body element but I'm not able to make it work and send any F1-12 keys to window/page and not to an element.

Run the following code and you will see how your sendKey KEY_F5 is working. when script reaches sendKeys, the searchbar is being triggered It is my guess that body is being refreshed not the whole document. Not sure..though
