Documents sporadically open read-only. Perforce issue?

When I open files, Epic frequently and incorrectly thinks they are read-only. When I close the file and reopen it, it usually opens as read/write. I'd like to figure out the underlying issue, but until then I'd like to quickly reopen the file with a single keystroke (rather than the three I use now, Ctrl-W, Alt-F, 1).

Is there an ACL command to reopen, or close and open, the current file?

Also, if anyone has any ideas on the underlying problem (files that are read/write sometimes open as read-only), I'd be very interested to hear them. We do keep all of our files in source control (Perforce), so I suspect some type of collision between the two programs, but I don't know what it could be. It's not reproducible, but it happens frequently (maybe 1 in 10 file opens).
