Adding Multiple Keywords

Hi


I am adding multiple keywords to picture of aircraft I have including airline, type, registration and location. But every time I put in a keyword and 'enter' it. I have to re click on the keyword box to type the next one.


On other systems like WordPress it is possible to separate keywords with a comma thus allowing you to type multiple keywords in one go. How can I do this on Photos?


Thanks!

It seems to be currently broken in Photos 5.0 on Catalina. The focus is switching from the Info to the main Photos window, once we have entered a keyword.


I am now using the work-around to add the keywords that I need most frequently to the Quick Group of the Keyword Manager. This assigns a keyboard shortcut to the keyword. Now I can enter multiple keywords by typing the keyboard shortcuts after selecting the photos. This will work, as long the keyword manager stays open.
