    Try this:

    document.addEventListener("keyup", (event) => {
 if (event.key === 'Enter') {
      location.reload(true)
    }
});

    Instead of using "keyup," use the "keydown" event in the addEventListener. Each key has a unique "key code," for example, F5 is associated with the key code 116. Check the condition to determine whether the pressed key has a key code of 116 or not.

    document.addEventListener("keydown",(e)=>{
           if(e.keycode === 116){
             location.reload(true);
           }
});
