I read Johnathan's reply as well and I've created some shortcuts here. Firstly, you need to ensure that what you wish to create a shortcut for is in the menu system of Skype, for example creating a shortcut for "Answer" won't work because an "Answer" command is not in the "Call" menu, unlike the PC version of Skype.
Next you must type the description of the function you wish to create a keyboard shortcut for as it appears, for example "Hang Up", is a command which appears in the "Call" menu of Skype and I've created a keyboard shortcut of ctrl-command-f10 for this. Open system Preferences and select "Keyboard and Mouse" Next select the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab. Find the table listing the keyboard Shortcuts, interact with it and go to the bottom. Expand the "Applications" part of the table". Stop interacting with the table, VO-right and press the first button you come to, this is the "Add" button. Go to the "Applications" Menu and select "Skype" as the application you wish to create shortcut keys for. Vo-Right to the "Shortcut Description" area and Type the keyboard shortcut name in the "Shortcut description" field, for example "Hang Up" Vo-Right again to the "Keyboard shortcut" area and press the keys you wish to use for that shortcut, when done Press the "okay" button near the bottom of the window. I'm not sure whether you have to or can have the application you're defining keyboard shortcuts for active in the background, I usually exit that application just to be sure that keyboard shortcuts will be applied, I then exit "System Preferences" and run the application, in this instance Skype.
