One other note on this subject: Any modifications you make to
skype.jkm will unfortunately be erased whenever you install a Skype
script update, because script updates rewrite that file. You could
work around this by backing up the skype.jkm file before upgrading
Skype scripts and then reinstalling your copy after the upgrade, but I
do not recommend this because that would prevent any new commands in
the updated scripts from working at all. Instead, I recommend that
you save out just your new line from skype.jkm somewhere, and after
you upgrade Skype scripts, copy that line back into the new skype.jkm
file so it will work alongside anything else in there. Beware,
though, that if you choose a keystroke that is also assigned to
something in the updated skype.jkm file, you'll still have to fix that
issue, just as you did today.

Glad your alternative worked, but in case you still want to know, the
line you would have to remove in order to reassign Ctrl+Shift+S reads
as follows:
Control+Shift+S=BroadcastScreenReaderFlag

control+shift+s=

and it works.
