Jaws says something like superscript 2, But I don't know if I spell it right. Does it help?
Anyway, I would still like to know why the default prefix key does not work either.
I could even try another key if you want, even a letter would do I imagine, and I can take one that is the same for French and English keyboards. What do you say?

Most likely, the key name we want is the one that goes through the KeyPressedEvent function as the value of strKeyName when you press the key; but it takes some considerable fiddling to get that name to print, unless I missed a tactic somewhere.

I still bet the problem is that JAWS wants a particular name for that key instead of just the key itself.
Apologies if I missed it amid all else today lol, but what key are you trying to assign as the Command key? If it is a shifted key, use "Shift+" with the regular key or key name; e.g., CommandKey=T is bad, but CommandKey=Shift+t is good.

Hey guys, first of all I'd like to thank Doug because I did not know these step for copying the file location. We always learn something new, lol! Jean, be careful to one thing which I noticed. I don't know why, but at least here in Italian, ctrl+s opens a window like Save as, and if asked to replace already existing file, you should say yes. I am now reading that you did not manage to fix the issue, so make sure if Notepad did not create an alternative file called skypeelectron.jcf.txt. Yesterday I had to count with it working on a jsm file for another scripts set. Bye! Barbuz

Re: Skype 8 language and prefix key
Ideas to try besides a temporary letter: ` or accent ~ or Shift+` or Shift+accent < or Shift+, F2 Shift+F2 etc.
A bit of tech info to help your curiosity:
When you type a key, one thing that happens is a KeyPressedEvent call, into which a key name is passed. It is this name that we need, because my code uses that name to recognize the prefix key. The name is usually the literal key for letters and numbers in my experience, but I don't know how that works in all languages.
I'm sorry my answers have been brief today. I'm working on several other projects and have not had a chance to dig very deep into this.
