Early Skype 8 versions rang through the default device even if you changed the speaker device to something else. I have not retested that in quite some time.

I really like Skype 8, and have been using it for months exclusively; but one problem I do have with it is that incoming call sounds still come through when I have set myself to Do Not Disturb. Letting you know this in case it
affects your broadcasting plans at all.

even use it with speed, which isn't always easy to do in this day and
age. I'm even going to find out how it does on air in a few hours...And
here's the rub.
Is there any way to have Skype 7 behavior, wherein Skype will ring
through one sound device, but not the same one as conversations play?
I do appreciate that this is lightyears better than Skype 8 was when it
came out, based on things I've seen. I hope it continues to get better!
Thanks,

Works in all Skype windows... but I think I just spotted the issue:

MKCSOptions needs brackets around it, to conform to .ini file syntax which is the syntax of jcf files:

[MKCSOptions]
CommandKey=r

But if your bracket keys are typing something else, who knows what you ended up with. :-)

ASCII values of interest:
[ is 91
] is 93

Hi Doug,

take your time. Here is the last thing I did,

wrote this ridiculous line in the JCF file :

Saved it and went back to Skype. But the letter r did not act as a prefix key
either. One question, does the prefix key work in all Skype windows? Could I
be in the wrong window?

But no rush hey.

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.

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

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.

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.

Alt+Win+numbers can be obnoxious to type frequently, especially when a keyboard has only one Alt or Windows key. Alt+numbers or Ctrl+numbers are much less challenging even in such a case because the thumb can hold down one key
but not reliably two. This is my finding anyway.

To the original concern in this subthread though: I try not to override application keystrokes that exist before I start coding stuff. Skype just bit me by suddenly attaching functionality to keys I had been using for a long
time already, and even across multiple chat programs.

           The part that gets me almost giggling resignedly here is that
     we're
           arguing over a program that costs us nothing. People sometimes
     get
           mad at me for saying things like, "The next version of the
     Skype
           scripts will no longer
           support any JAWS versions older than 15.0." I do that when it
     lets
           me do better things in scripting than the older JAWS versions
           allowed, or when older JAWS versions simply can't handle the
     newest
           version of the application.
           But people generally have the sense to realize that I'm (1)
     not
           doing it to hurt people, (2) am actually doing it for a
     reason, and
           (3) cannot be called mean because I'm giving away for free
     what I'm
           doing anyway.
           The only time I can remember complaining about a change to a
     free
           program was when Roger suddenly vanished with very little
     warning.
           My complaint at that time was that they gave us little warning
     and
           also gave us nowhere to go.
           Microsoft has given us way plenty of warning and has also
     given us
           not one, but two places to go (Skype 8 or Skype UWP). And
     despite a
           small number of claims in this thread, we have absolutely
     solid and
           prolific proof that at
           least Skype 8 works well enough with both JAWS and NVDA to be
           usable. It has its quirks, but so did Skype 7. So Microsoft
     gave us
           the easiest feedback system for reporting them that I have
     ever
           seen, bar none: Open, type into a
           box, press Enter, done!
           Finally, if anyone wanted to complain loudly, I think it
     should have
           been me. My Command Line Interface for Skype, Clisk
           ([1][1]http://www.dlee.org/skype/clisk), is completely
     unsupported
           after the end of this month. That's a loss of
           years of my time, at least arguably.
           So why don't I yell about that one? Again, Microsoft gave
     plenty of
           warning, good explanations for why they are doing what they're
           doing, and even delayed Skype 7's demise partly because of one
           feature Clisk used, that being
           the ability to redirect and record sound from Skype. I will
           seriously miss Clisk, but that is no reason to cry foul.
           In conclusion, I'd say this Skype update should best be
     treated like
           a hurricane; and that hurricane actually has a name: Cloud.
     Cloud
           infrastructure is why this update is happening. Skype, as I
     said
           before, is changing how it
           communicates. It is starting to use a cloud structure. Skype 7
     was
           not ready for that and never will be. So Microsoft gave an
           evacuation order, with several months' warning - which is
     unusual
           for a weather bulletin lol. But
           really, in this storm, if we cling to our islands, we truly
     will end
           up lost at sea.

The only time I can remember complaining about a change to a
free
program was when Roger suddenly vanished with very little
warning.
My complaint at that time was that they gave us little warning
and
also gave us nowhere to go.
Microsoft has given us way plenty of warning and has also
given us
not one, but two places to go (Skype 8 or Skype UWP). And
despite a
small number of claims in this thread, we have absolutely
solid and
prolific proof that at
least Skype 8 works well enough with both JAWS and NVDA to be
usable. It has its quirks, but so did Skype 7. So Microsoft
gave us
the easiest feedback system for reporting them that I have
ever
seen, bar none: Open, type into a
box, press Enter, done!
Finally, if anyone wanted to complain loudly, I think it
should have
been me. My Command Line Interface for Skype, Clisk
([1][1]http://www.dlee.org/skype/clisk), is completely
unsupported
after the end of this month. That's a loss of
years of my time, at least arguably.
So why don't I yell about that one? Again, Microsoft gave
plenty of
warning, good explanations for why they are doing what they're
doing, and even delayed Skype 7's demise partly because of one
feature Clisk used, that being
the ability to redirect and record sound from Skype. I will
seriously miss Clisk, but that is no reason to cry foul.
In conclusion, I'd say this Skype update should best be
treated like
a hurricane; and that hurricane actually has a name: Cloud.
Cloud
infrastructure is why this update is happening. Skype, as I
said
before, is changing how it
communicates. It is starting to use a cloud structure. Skype 7
was
not ready for that and never will be. So Microsoft gave an
evacuation order, with several months' warning - which is
unusual
for a weather bulletin lol. But
really, in this storm, if we cling to our islands, we truly
will end
up lost at sea.

In the spirit of constructive feedback seeking, I wonder which keystrokes? I do know that my Skype 7 scripts made Alt+numbers read chats but that, years after I started doing that, Skype made Alt+1 through Alt+3 jump to
different screens in Skype. I can't think of any others but wonder if I'm forgetting any.

As far as the Alt+numbers go, I had to make a difficult decision: Change my keystrokes after years because Skype suddenly collided with them and risk ticking off long-term users, or continue using the keys as always and provide
alternate ways to use the new Skype commands, at the risk of ticking off newcomers. I chose the former and pleaded with Skype, before it belonged to Microsoft, to switch to Ctrl+numbers for the screen-switching commands. I
lost.

Ah, I thought Notepad would be an option there... so here is one alternative:

Open "Explore My Settings" for your JAWS version using your Start menu or Start screen, or otherwise navigate to that folder manually. One manual approach would be to open %APPDATA% from the Run box, then go to Freedom
Scientific, JAWS, your JAWS version, Settings, fra (if that's your language code; I forget that one).

Find skypeelectron.jcf and press Shift with the Applications key. This gets you a longer Context menu than usual.

From this extended menu, select "Copy as path" to get the full path of the file onto the clipboard.

Now open Notepad, type Ctrl+O, and paste that path into the box to open the file there.

Find the [MKCSOptions] line, then the line below that. Edit what comes after the = sign to be the key you want. Save with Ctrl+S and test. If this does not work, try using a name for the key; e.g., ` versus accent.

If you did not find a [MKCSOptions] line at all, go to the bottom of the file, add one, then on the next line enter something like CommandKey=[ (replacing [ with your key of course). Save with Ctrl+S and test.

I need to know how to do this. First, do you have to open this file in
notepad? How do you do this? If I type Application key on a JCF file, and go

Then, do you do a search for MKCSOptions?

Yes, the jcf. The jss would contain a default value, but the jcf is where any updates to it go for a user; so the jcf setting will override the jss value for that key if found.

My guess is it at some point got changed to something unexpected. You can always try editing it in skypeelectron.jcf. If you've tried to change the key, there should be an MKCSOptions section in that file containing the
assignment. If you change it there, my script code will update all the jkm entries that use it when you next switch focus back into Skype.
