Skype has its collection of hidden emoticons. There are fourteen of them, not including the 238 country flags. You find all the codes for them here.Today, thanks to a question from RAKISHI on the Skype forum and the answer of the “proud Bulgarian Калин” i can unveil two other hidden curiosities.
When you open a chat window, and begin to chat, normally your contact person will see a typing indicator: a pencil writing!
However, when you press 3 alphabetical keyboard keys at the same time, the typing indicator is changed by something else. Try c+a+t for instance (and keep the keys down), you get an animated cat.
Or try q+s+d and you get two fists grabbing a pencil. Funny.[EDITED]: this works only with the new 3.6 beta Skype client version!

Hello Anonymous,
I just tested it, but "the cat" continues to work (it is the other person you are chatting to who sees it). I didn't find how to make the fists work however
Hey, just thought I'd drop a note to say the hands grabbing the pencil is currently viewable by holding a+s+d.
Thanks Jason,
but probably you have a QWERTY keyboard, and i have an AZERTY keyboard, therefore "asd" and "qsd" are alternatives depending on the keyboard.
I really forgot about that.
i hav a mac, will it still work:
In my opinion: yes!
you are so damn good ... thanks .. i was trying this cat thing for so long .. thanks again
Thanks ;-)
Holding down any three or more "close" letter keys at the same time cause a two-hands typing icon to appear, indicating that the user is smashing the keyboard. Holding down three or more keys with at least one "far enough" causes the cat icon to appear, indicating that the keys are being held down as if by a cat walking on the keyboard.
