Resetting Safari with a keyboard shortcut

Reader John Craven offers up this head-scratcher. He writes:

A short while ago I found a keyboard shortcut to reset Safari. Then recently I was having trouble with Safari and the keyboard shortcut stopped working along with a few other problems. I took my Mac to the Genius Bar and the technician showed me how to delete the plist file. This brought everything back to normal. The problem is I can’t remember the keyboard shortcut to reset Safari anymore.

If you remember, please let me know because I’ve never heard of such a shortcut. Oh sure, you can open Safari’s preferences (Command-comma), click the Advanced tab, enable the Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar option, and then press Command-Option-E to empty Safari’s caches, but that’s not the same thing as resetting the browser.
