A method for operating an electronic device having a display and a capacitive physical keyboard, comprising key depression detecting means for detecting a key press input and force sensing means for detecting a key tap input not being detectable by the key depression detecting means, the method comprising: outputting to the display a first graphical user interface associated with a first context; controlling operation of the device in the first context in which a first input operation of the capacitive physical keyboard reflects selection of keys on the capacitive physical keyboard to provide a text input operation to the first context; responsive to receipt of information reflecting a potential context change, outputting a visual indicia to the display associated with the received information; enabling control of the device to switch to operation in a second context that is different from the first context; responsive to a first input of a second input operation of the capacitive physical keyboard, outputting to the display a second graphical user interface associated with the second context and controlling operation of the device in the second context in which the second input operation, including the first input of the second input operation, reflects selection of keys on the capacitive physical keyboard to provide a text input operation to the second context, wherein either the first input operation comprises receiving one or more key press inputs and the second input operation comprises receiving one or more key tap inputs corresponding to the respectively selected keys, or the first input operation comprises receiving one or more key tap inputs and the second input operation comprises receiving one or more key press inputs corresponding to the respectively selected keys; and responsive to receiving an indication of a termination condition to terminate the second context, returning control of the device to operation in the first context. outputting to the display a first graphical user interface associated with a first context; controlling operation of the device in the first context in which a first input operation of the capacitive physical keyboard reflects selection of keys on the capacitive physical keyboard to provide a text input operation to the first context; responsive to receipt of information reflecting a potential context change, outputting a visual indicia to the display associated with the received information; enabling control of the device to switch to operation in a second context that is different from the first context; responsive to a first input of a second input operation of the capacitive physical keyboard, outputting to the display a second graphical user interface associated with the second context and controlling operation of the device in the second context in which the second input operation, including the first input of the second input operation, reflects selection of keys on the capacitive physical keyboard to provide a text input operation to the second context, wherein either the first input operation comprises receiving one or more key press inputs and the second input operation comprises receiving one or more key tap inputs corresponding to the respectively selected keys, or the first input operation comprises receiving one or more key tap inputs and the second input operation comprises receiving one or more key press inputs corresponding to the respectively selected keys; and responsive to receiving an indication of a termination condition to terminate the second context, returning control of the device to operation in the first context.
