When you dial a Skype username with blogtalkradio it asks you to press 1 to talk to a host. You can see this behavior by trying any number on blogtalkradio. How do you press one in Linux? Skype for Linux is now up to version 4.0.0.8
. Does it have this functionality?

Interestingly, this question was asked on October 28 by me. Merely 17 days later Skype would react to community demand and put out a new version 4.1 which fixed this problem.
User interface tweaks to improve the experience
We have tweaked the user interface a bit to improve the experience. The tweaks include:
- Hotkey "d" added to invoke dialpad during Skype-to-Skype and conference calls
- Pressing ESC will now exit full screen call view
- Notification of unread messages in middle of the call
- Differentiate between local and remote holding of call
Kudos to Skype, find Skype 4.1 here, and find the blog entry of the 4.1 Linux change set here.

was, or where to hit to get it, or how to work around it not being there -- I'd not have asked the question.
