Hi Jeff, I'll try to help with your Skype questions but I suspect others will follow doing a better job.
First, I'm not a power user yet but I find using Skype pretty easy so I'm sure you will too once you learn a few tips and tricks. To make a call to a contact I navigate to the correct table then interact with the table. I then arrow down until I hear the contact name I want to call. at that point I bring up the context menu. This might be the wrong name in a mac, I believe the command is VO Shift m. Once that menu comes up I down arrow until I hear call. I press that and the call begins. By the way I use quick Nav so down arrow could be VO down arrow for you. To answer a in coming call I press command tab until I hear that I am in the answer window I then VO left or Right arrow until I hear the answer button announced. I select that and I'm talking to a friend. To hang up easily you will want to create a short cut command from the menu bar command hang up. In the meantime to end a call go to the menu bar and navigate to the Call menu then down arrow until you hear hang up. press that to end the call. I created a keyboard short cut command Option H and I use that to hang up calls. Sadly we can't do a short cut Answer command because there is no menu item for that. One more tip. In the table with your contacts you will find that on line folks show up above the Skype Test Call and off line contacts are listed below. I hope this helps. eric Caron skype name ericalfredcaron On Sep 6, 2010, at 11:05 PM, Geoff Waaler wrote: > Greetings, > > Somehow I got to my list of Skype contacts, however upon attempting to > interact I only got text, hence assume I was in the right view.
