You could use input parsing and write your task AND the context at the same 
time.

For example: 

Remember to watch Ramzpaul video @HomeComputer

or

Remember to watch Ramzpaul video context HomeComputer

and then clicking Alt+Enter will create a new task with the appropiate 
context.

>From the Help Notes:

Context

If you add reserved words "context" or "@" to the phrase the contexts will 
be added to the task. The contexts should be separated by semicolons (;) 

The pattern:

<What?> [<When?>] [remind[er]] [<When?>] [context | @] <context1>;<context2>
; <context3>

 

Examples:

Call Jim tomorrow context @office; @calls

Send report in 3 days remind tomorrow 10:00 @ ProjectX 

 

Tip: If the context starts with "@" you can skip the reserved words. In 
this case the first word which starts with "@" is interpreted as a context.

Example:

Call Jim tomorrow @office; @calls

Tip: you can use the +@ switch to add contexts to the task (not replace 
them).  Example: “Call Bob +@ phone” or "Buy ticket +@internet"
