This addon only works with the classic version of Skype desktop, not the Electron or UWP apps. You can download the [latest Skype classic from this direct link](http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-full), version 7.41.0.101 at time of writing. If other versions of Skype are installed, you may have to uninstall them first before installing Skype classic.

All commands match those in the jaws scripts as closely as possible.
16+
* Ctrl+0 through 9: read the 10 most recent messages for the active conversation. Press twice quickly to copy the message to the clipboard.
17+
* Alt+1: moves focus to the contacts list. This functionality is built into Skype itself.
18+
* Alt+2: moves focus to the recent conversations list. This functionality is built into Skype itself.
19+
* Alt+3 (unimplemented): Moves focus to the list of active calls, if any. Active calls actually appear at the top of the recent conversations list, and are not in a separate list.
20+
* Alt+4: moves focus to the message history for the active conversation.
21+
* Alt+5: moves focus to the message input field for the active conversation.
22+
* NVDA+Alt+w: virtualizes the message history for the active conversation for convenient review and copying. To load more earlier messages so they can be virtualized, move to the message history, press home to move to the first message in the list, and press up arrow.

* NVDA+Ctrl+0 through 9: read the 10 most recent messages for the active conversation. This is implemented by the built-in app module, but has been enhanced so that it works anywhere in Skype, not just when focus is inside the active conversation. This will be changed to alt+0 through 9 in the future.
