Mark, type Hang Up
Note the caps and spacing. Personally, I wish there was a more elegant way of doing this, but for now, this will get you going. For future, simply locate the menu choice you'd like to create a key shortcut for, in the app itself, and do a VO w twice quickly. this will cause VO to read you the menu choice, character by character.

Taylor wrote: Hello Jonathan and Everyone, After reading Jonathan's reply, I tried to create a keyboard Shortcut for hanging up a Skype Call but was unsuccessful. As I have never attempted to create a keyboard application Shortcut before, I would appreciate any advice on how to accomplish this. The steps I took which did not work were as follows: 1. Keyboard Shortcuts under System Preferences. 2. Selected the Applications area of the Dialog Box. 3. From the Drop-down list I selected Skype.app. This is where I get confused. It would appear that I am to enter the exact menu command for the shortcut I wish to use. Where may I find a list of these Shortcuts. I tried typing in, "hangup" but this did not work.

System preferences keyboard and mouse has a pane for keyboard shortcuts of menu items. I went down to the applications area at the bottom (This is in plain old Leopard) and added in skype application. In terms of recognizing on call vs off line. There are built-in "groups" for this, and I have given instructions on this list on how to enable the "on-line" predefined group.
