The dial pad in Skype 4 is used to dial digits after you have established a connection to an actual telephone number. This can be used, for example, to control an answering machine, enter a voicemail access code, etc.
However, if you type Ctrl+Shift+D at a time when you're not in a connection to a telephone number, you may get strange results. This is because it is currently difficult for the scripts to determine whether the Dial pad button is usable or not. On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 08:17:38PM -0600, Sarah Alawami wrote: Hello everyone. Tonight I was using Skype 4, and I was in a friend of mine Lewis Crack's chat window. Just for an experiment, I pressed control shift and D. JAWS then said dial pad closed, and it called him! Please could I have an explanation on what the dial pad is and what it is for? Many thanks. Look forward to some responses. >From Gary Price. Thanks for posting to the skype english list.
