Check for comma separation in "keyword" field

See original GitHub issue

Using the dev version from today.

JabRef accept keywords in the keywords field without (or with space) separator. By default biblatex use comma (,) as separator. Not using it causing some problems e.g. when you filter your bibliography by keywords.

Separators in biblatex can be modified. So I think it would not be the best solution for JabRef to check for comma only.

There should be a warning or something like that if you have multiple keywords but no comma between them.

I think this is a good idea. For crossref field we have such highlighting, so could be implemented similarly

I can second this, multiple websites provide multiple ways of keywords, unfortunately JabRef performs pretty poor in scraping them at the moment from these websites. Sometimes these are listed as keyword1, keyword2, keyword3, others as Key Word1; Key Word2; Key Word3 (please note the spaces) or Keyword1 [Tab] Keyword2 [Tab] Keyword3. It would be great if Jabref could automatically adjust the keywords into correct biblatex syntax based on these hidden/not so hidden characters.
