Hi Steve,
I will give that a try to see if that will work the way you describe it.
I use that method to launch specific apps from the desktop.
but I suspect since My desktop is only shortcuts and I as a rule never load
anything active so that it runs from the DT all I will get is the context menu.
maybe there are some new tricks I've missed over the years.
In the day, of the beginnings of screen readers, because they were such
resource hogs you would always keep your desktop clean as possible and set up
so as little as possible started when you booted up to keep the preserve the
resources IE. speed of the machine as fast as possible.
So the old dog trick was don't allow anything to run directly from the DT
that wasn't absolutely required to boot up completely and that would keep you
as light and as stable as possible.
So we tended to only put uniquely labeled shortcuts on our desktops So the
single key jump would work just like you state.
but I have no apps that run directly from my DT.
But any tricks you or anyone else would ever care to share, especially for
Skype, are always welcome.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi mike
Just curious as to why you don't use initial letter navigation if you are
looking for speed. i.e, s for skype once on the desktop and q for quit to
unload the application once you are there? Certainly saves tabbing and arrowing
up and down.
Regards
Steve

Re shutting down Skype with key strokes:
I use window key m which minimizes all running apps and puts me on the desk
top
then I tab twice to the task bar and then right arrow until I hear Skype
then I either use the windows app key or right mouse click arrow down until
I hear quit Skype and hit enter
wait about 5 seconds and it unloads
I know this may sound like a lot of key strokes but it never fails and once
learned is very fast
less than ten seconds to Skype closed and out of it
thanks to the others who shared their different ways, I just learned a few
more key strokes to add to the millions every blind person already knows! LOL
If keystrokes were dollars, those of us who are blind would have the
financial markets cornered!
Have a great day,

Hello Clare, I nearly did not ghink of this, but I have to add something
now...
If using windows+b, my impression is that pressing enter or space does not
open the context menu, so you'll have to use applications instead.
Bye!
