Key commands for the Skype app for Windows 10
|
David Moore
Hi all! Here are many key commands for the Skype app for Windows 10. I have tested this with Windows 10 1709, Latest app update, JAWS 2018, NVDA 2018.1, and Narrator. The Skype app is very accessible with these key commands with what I listed above. Here are the commands. By the way, there are three entries for each command, the Windows command, the Mac command, and third, the action that activates by doing that command. Keep that in mind, that first is the Windows command, and second is the Mac command, then the action. Here you go: What are hotkeys and how do I use them in Skype? Keyboard shortcuts are specific combinations of two or more keys on your keyboard. They make it easier and faster for you to use commands that you would otherwise have to access via the menus. You can use keyboard shortcuts to easily quit Skype, send a file, copy text and a lot more. Hotkeys in the new Skype for Windows desktop, and Mac Windows desktop Hotkey Mac Hotkey Action Not applicable [Command]+[1] Open the main Skype window Ctrl + I [Command]+Shift+[O] Open Notification panel Ctrl + , (Ctrl + comma) [Command]+Shift+[I] Open app settings Ctrl + H Not applicable Open Help in default browser Ctrl + D [Command]+[2] Launch main dial pad Ctrl + N [Command]+[N] Start new conversation Ctrl + G [Command]+[G] New group Ctrl + F [Command]+[F] Search for all contacts, messages and bots Ctrl + Shift + S [Command]+Shift+[S] Search within selected message Alt + 1 Not applicable Navigate to recent chats Alt + 2 [Command]+Shift+[C] Open contacts Alt + 3 [Command]+Shift+[B] Open contact screen to bots Ctrl + O [Command]+Option+[O] Send feedback Ctrl + R [Command]+[R] Refresh the app Ctrl + T [Command]+[T] Open themes Ctrl + Shift + T [Command]+Shift+[T] Toggle between light and dark mode Use Alt + V to bring up the View menu to zoom in, out, or return to actual size Ctrl + Shift + = to zoom in Ctrl + - to zoom out Ctrl + 0 for actual size Use the View button to zoom in, out, or return to actual size [Command]+[+] to zoom in [Command]+[-] to zoom out [Command]+[0] for actual size Zoom in, zoom out, or view actual size Up arrow after sending a message [Command]+Shift+[E] Edit the last message sent Ctrl + P [Command]+[I] Show conversation profile Ctrl + Shift + A [Command]+Shift+[A] Add people to conversation Ctrl + Shift + U [Command]+Shift+[U] Mark as unread Ctrl + Shift + K [Command]+Shift+[K] Start a video call Ctrl + Shift + P [Command]+Shift+[R] Start an audio call Ctrl + Shift + F [Command]+Shift+[F] Send a file Enter Return Start a PSTN call Ctrl + Shift + G [Command]+Shift+[G] Open gallery Ctrl + E [Command]+Shift+[H] Hang up Ctrl + M [Command]+Shift+[M] Mute Down Arrow [Command]+[Down Arrow] Select the next message in the chat list Up Arrow [Command]+[Up Arrow] Select the previous message in the chat list David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Wow, cool. Thanks for this. I still use 7.59 on the mac as I miss the side bar on 8 and it lags a bit, although it is getting better. The web layout on the mac sucks, but for those of us who do use the mac version I'm sure these will help. For those using the web to view the group I will probably make this post sticky as this info really does help.

No harm in making that post sticky, but keep in mind that it is simply copied from the official Microsoft web page of key commands for the Skype versions. That page is, I believe, likely to change from time to time as

accessibility features are added and altered. The page also includes, just below that table, a set of three tabs that let you choose to see specific information for Skype for Windows Desktop, or Skype for Windows 10, or Skype for Mac. Opening the Skype for Windows 10 tab adds a new table relevant only to Skype for Windows 10. The Skype for Windows Desktop tab includes information on how to enable/disable hotkeys. The page is at https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12025/what-are-hotkeys-and-how-do-i-use-them-in-skype On Thu, Mar 29, 2018 at 09:10:21AM -0700, Sarah k Alawami wrote:

In my haste I forgot to thank David for posting that table in a format very easy to read, regardless of one's skill level with handling complex web pages, as many Microsoft pages tend to be. :)

Nice. I'll try and remember that, actually I might just make the whole thread sticky if I can, after I'm done with some projects I'm working on. It's no problem.
