I am not aware of the existance of a shortcut that would do what you describe.
On Windows, one could hit Ctrl-M, followed by R, but then one gets a prompt, asking for confirmation to remove all objects, but this can't be what you are referring to. Are you perhaps using Tinn-R and (accidentally) hitting F12 (which does in fact exactly what you describe)?
