So why not just make `C-u r' call the *agenda commands* buffer back when
the current agenda view is produced by (org-agenda-list)?
Then `C-u r' will have the same meaning across all possible types of
agenda views, i.e. call `org-agenda-redo' and wait for more information
on how to refine the current view. Which means: call back `org-agenda'
if the last command was `org-agenda-list'.

I think it will be hard to have a simpler keystroke than `C-x b' :)
But anyway, I guess your point is to have some Org internal command for
this function -- which would also avoid the problem with ido.el.

To combine your suggestion with mine, it would be:
- rebind 'r' to the actual behavior of `C-u r', and make this available
for all types of agenda views.
- rebind 'g' to refresh and 'G' to `org-agenda-toggle-time-grid'.

again (I think C-c a is simple enough) but rather let you recall the
last agenda command (either `org-agenda-list' or `org-todo-list' etc.)
and ask for more information (just like `C-u r' does for some agenda
types.
