Delete autofill from list in Photos keyword list

How do you delete autofill or autocomplete items from the list when adding keywords to the information window ("circle i") in the Photos app on a MacBook Pro? I've tried fn-shift-delete, option-shift-delete, command-shift-delete, and other options with no luck.

Faster keyword entry? I'm using the latest version of Photos for Mac (desktop) and trying to add multiple keywords to multiple individual images. Every time I hit enter to select an auto-fill keyword, I have to move the mouse to get the cursor active in the Get Info > Keyword window. Is there a key command or faster way to "re-activate" this field? I want that field to stay active until I'm done typing/adding keywords!

Delete unwanted keywords containing typos from Photos database? I would like to delete unwanted keywords containing typos from my Photos database. I have a 2020 Macbook Pro running Monterey 12.6. I have keywords in my Photos database that contain typos. They continue to popup as options to select in the KEYWORD field when I am adding info to my image (e.g. title, face, etc). I would like to remove these unwanted, misspelled keywords permanently. How can I do that?

How do I add multiple keywords to a photo in Photos? If I open the Info pane for a single (or multiple) photo(s) in Photos (version 5.0 on MacBook Pro running 10.15.7) and place the cursor in the 'Add a Keyword' panel, I can type in one keyword (with auto complete), when I hit return, tab, or comma the keyword is entered but the cursor disappears from the panel. To add another keyword to the same photo(s) I have to reposition the cursor in the panel and start typing again. Is there a keystroke sequence that will allow me to add multiple keywords without having to reposition the cursor?

What do you mean by autofill in the Info pane of a photo? The only autofill in Photos is found in projects, i.e. slideshow, books, etc. but usually have to be enabled. I don't get any autofill when I open the Info pane of a photo with the ⌘ + i key combination:

Can you provide a screenshot of what you're seeing in the Info pane? And what is the "circle i" you're referring to?
