Yahoo Messenger : Keyboard Shortcut
3 Comments Published by mixterr February 25th, 2008 in Info and news, Tips.
One of the handiest shortcuts in Yahoo! Messenger 8.1 is the Windows + Y key combination. When you use it, it brings up your Yahoo! Messenger window with the cursor in the contact search box, no matter what you’re doing on your computer. From there you can quickly start a message by typing in someone’s ID, phone number, or just type their name to find them in your list.
Ctrl + Y – Open Yahoo Messenger
Ctrl + H – Toggle between online friends and offline friends on your friends list.
Ctrl + D – Signs you out of Yahoo
Ctrl + Q – Closes Yahoo Messenger
Ctrl + M – To send a PM
Ctrl + L – Call a computer
Ctrl + K – Call a phone number
Ctrl + T – Send SMS
Ctrl + Y – Send an email
Ctrl + Shift + F8 – Shows your display image
Ctrl + Shift + P – Opens Preferences
Ctrl + Shift + D – Signs you into mobile device
Ctrl + hSift + A – Add a Contact

Hello How i can post images here ?
I try upload it, but something wrong.
One of my friends is visually impaired and has friends on yahoo messenger. Usually her son helps her out with messenger but he is now unavailable. She needs to know what some keyboard shortcuts to use yahoo messenger, such as switching between the friends and adressbook screen, navigating the ‘messenger’ and ‘contact’ buttons, etc, Basically any shortcuts will be a big help.
Wow..this is fantastic. Did not even realize there are so many short cuts for it. Thanks
