This is overly complicated and doesn't solve the basic problem - after all, you
can practice phrases/sentences with parley as well as single words. There are a
bunch of sentences that will contain both commas and semicolons.

Apart from that, cluttering the input field with other input options is not
advisable since it will be extremely hard to understand and not be intuitive at
all. Remember that you can't properly label checkboxes in an input field.

Using multiple input fields is comparatively simple: just add a "+" button to
the right of any currently displayed input field (possibly to the left if the
text orientation is right-to-left, somebody with more GUI design experience
should comment on that) and add a new input field below the current one if the
+ button is pressed, giving it input focus.
This has the added advantage of being both intuitive and relatively easy to use
(if you don't want your hand to leave the keyboard like me, just tab to the +
button and press space/enter/whatever to activate it).


I sympathise with the wish to keep things compact, but not at the expense of
usability.
