Re: Skype 8 ringing device
Ironically, I'd love to have that behavior back, as wel as getting notifications for every message that comes in, not just the first new message in a conversation.

Re: Skype 8 language and prefix key
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

~ or Shift+` or Shift+accent
< or Shift+,
F2 Shift+F2 etc.
A bit of tech info to help your curiosity:

Re: Skype 8 language and prefix key
Hi Doug,
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

Re: Skype 8 language and prefix key
And any ASCII value above decimal 127 is out of the normal range for printable characters; so I expect that key has a name in JAWS. We just need to know what it is.

Re: Skype 8 language and prefix key
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

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

Regarding your old keystrokes verses apps stepping on you by hijackingthem with their newer upgrades:
Could a simple fix just be for you to add the windows key to the keycombos?

Hi Doug,
I was able to do the change, but still no luck. No prefix key, the only thing that happens when you press the key in question is that Jaws pronounces it. Same in Jaws 18.

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
