One thing to remember is that these keyboard shortcuts will only work while you are in the application. So you won't be able to be in a wordprocessor, for example, and automatically answer a call. You will first need to make sure you are in Skype. -Original Message- From: macvisionarie

Hi Doug, If your utility is command-line based, but shell scriptable, you might be able to wrap it in an Automator workflow. Automator lets you run shell scripts and AppleScripts as individual actions in the workflow. There may be better solutions that others can suggest, though. Cheers,
