The plan for taking an incoming call in Skype 8 is this:

1. Make a shortcut key that immediately puts focus on the Skype 8 window. Do this by assigning a shortcut key, such as Ctrl+Shift+Alt+K, to the Skype 8 Desktop shortcut.

2. When a call comes in, type your shortcut, tab for caller ID, then tab to the Answer button and press Space.

This is more keystrokes than Alt+PgUp was, but it is also less prone to the, "Oh goodness, I did not mean to pick up that call!" situation. This situation would be my description of most calls I get, because of spam calls that
are made to my phone number, which I route through Skype specifically so I can handle such things intelligently.

My experience says Ctrl+Shift+P never answered a call in Skype 8, but that
if you happened to be displaying the same contact that called you and you
typed Ctrl+Shift+P, Skype tried to initiate a call to that person and
simply
connected to the incoming call as a result. This could easily give the
illusion that Ctrl+Shift+P answers calls if you are testing the feature
and thus are likely to be showing that exact contact when a call arrives.

only used it for starting a call. Anyway I can confirm ctrl+e for ending a
call, I tested it sometimes.
