This is not possible, because the prefix argument is needed to be  
passed to the
command that is executed by the "r" command.

I do agree with the last two, "g" should indeed be the refresh command.
However, I'm hesitating to change the "r" binding, I believe that  
many people
(including me) are too used to this key binding.
