I have a friend who uses Skype, and doesn't use the shortcut keys. We just use the regular keyboard navigation keys like Alt C for call and so forth.
Have a bright day, Portia. -----Original Message----- From: Doug Lee <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 12, 2008 11:05 AM To: a list for discussing skype and its use with screen access software. <skypeenglish at emissives.com> Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Skype 4.0 beta3 Script Release I don't remember being able to change where the Skype installer puts things, but I haven't run a Skype 3.x or older installer in many months. When did we lose that? I thought Skype 3.8 did not allow that either. On Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 12:41:49PM -0500, Richard Claypool wrote: Hi doug, again, many thanks for your hard work and detication. Being the lazy bugger I am, I'll wait until they get the shortcut keys implimented. I don't know why they couldn't have popped them in, as it does make life sooooo much easier. I almost installed skype 4 to have a go at it, but that put me off. One thing of interest, why for did they not give one the ability as to where to install skype 4 as in previous versions? It sure makes thing a pain smile.
