Thanks Sieghard. Hopefully I wasn't the only one who wasn't aware of that.

Given Microsoft's commitment to accessibility, I suspect that will work well and especially since they have already listed the hotkeys.

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard,

"UWP" is short for "Universal Windows Platform" and these are the Windows Store apps which work on various platforms, e.g. Windows 10 on a PC, a tablet or other device such as Xbox I think etc.

Thanks so much Sieghard.
I like Doug Lee's sense of humor.
Someone had stated on this list that Skype for Windows 10 had no hotkeys, but the Microsoft page gives hotkeys for Skype for Windows 10, Skype version 8 and version 7.  I know 7 is retiring, but it would appear that Microsoft has retained the bulk of the Windows hotkeys for Skype for Windows 10.

Is that what Doug Lee is referring to with the Native Skype UWP Keyboard Shortcuts?
I know the U is for Universal.
I'm new to Skype on Windows and am mainly trying to learn it for a client, but might start using it myself from time to time.

Thanks again for your help,
Richard

No, not from FS, but Doug Lee has Skype 8 scripts on his site, https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=www.dlee.org&data=02%7C01%7C%7C434897dad1a14312146608d5ef1b0249%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636677821626323308&sdata=ysLiYVAjdth01DCVd%2Fmsm49poWBQaJiMQBaswlK0rFI%3D&reserved=0.
Jaws will focus on Skype 8 and an initial release of scripts will come in an August update, possible a later in August update, then more improvements will be made in Jaws 2019.
You can read more in Jonathan Mosen's article about the retirement of Skype 7.4:

I am on Skype 8.
When I check the scripts that are loaded it says "Google Chrome Settings, Skype.exe."
Are there no scripts yet for Skype 8?

Richard
