1. A computer-implemented method for concurrently accepting parameters in at least two contexts, the method comprising:

  • accepting a keystroke sequence comprising at least one keystroke, each keystroke having a first value, and at least one keystroke having a second value;

    determining whether the keystroke sequence produces a valid result in a first context;

    responsive to the keystroke sequence producing a valid result in the first context;

    outputting first feedback, the fist feedback indicating keystroke input according to the first context; and

    performing a first action corresponding to the first context, using the first value for each keystroke;

    responsive to the keystroke sequence not producing a valid result in the first context;

    determining whether the keystroke sequence produces a valid result in a second context; and

    responsive to the keystroke sequence producing a valid result in the second context;

    outputting second feedback, the second feedback indicating keystroke input according to the second context; and

    performing a second action corresponding to the second context, using the second value for each keystroke.
