If you go to tools, options and find the hotkeys tab you can activate the answer call. It is not activate by defolt i think. It's something like alt+page up or something but you can change it to whatever you want anyway.
Hope it helps

i've never seen the hotkeys tab in options before, where is it on the page from a jaws curssor point of view?

The only way I was able tgo find it was by going to the advanced tab and then looking for it.
I whish they would fix the accessibility issue with the options.

I was able to find it just find. It's under options after sound devices. It could be the version of skype your using.

I wonder why I was able to find it. I'm using skype 3.1. The options is a list box which should have the following: general, privacy, notifications, sounds, sound devices, hotkeys, connection and so on. I won't name them all. You should be able to use the down arrow but I have scripts and that may make a difference.

yes, unfortunately skype 3.2 in particular has introduced an accessibility problem in the option dialogue. for those who are still using 3.1 or earlier you should be able to find the hotkeys dialogue just fine.

found it with 3.2, you need to use the jaws curssor or something similar to click on advanced, then it's under there, still you need to use the jaws curssor.
