This input mode is used to allow the user to walk through uni-dimensional and bi-dimensional lists of elements while receiving visual feedback, usually in the form of mouse selection and/or the parameter index. When handling bi-dimensional lists, for each element in the first index there is possibly a list of elements in the second index. For uni-dimensional lists, either index may be used.
