P: Unable to enter keywords quickly

[Rusty_Sammon]

This is an annoyance that would be nice to fix:

-- Select a photo

-- Bring up the Keywords editor (K)

-- Move cursor to Keywords text edit box (Ctrl-Tab, or mouse)

-- Type a first keyword, hit enter to save it

-- Quickly type a second keyword, which contains letters that are keyboard shortcuts (e.g., "greg")

Expected Behavior:

-- The second keyword appears in the Keywords text edit box

Actual Behavior:

-- Your typing from the second keyword activates keyboard shortcuts.  E.g., "G" activates Grid view, "E" switches to edit mode

-- The second keyword (e.g., "greg") does not appear in the Keywords text edit box

Workaround:

-- Wait a second before typing the second keyword, at which point the cursor will return to the Keywords text edit box.

-- This is annoying when you're trying to quickly enter a lot of keywords.

I'd find it easier to simply enter the keywords in one line, i.e. separate them by a comma...e.g. "keyword1,keyword2,keyword3,keyword4, etc.".
