Vo+J is your friend when accessing chat history and when going from table to table. Also, keep in mind that when you're sitting in a chat window on skype, it won't make the sound to let you know a new message has come in. So you'll probably want to command+tab away from the application while waiting for a new message, then skype will make the alert. Other than that, and if you remember to be out of the application when waiting for a message, it's a pretty good experience. Have fun, and shout if you have questions!
