Treat ";" as keyword separator when importing bibtex data or replace them with "," #12974

There are journals that (wrongly) publish bibtex data with keywords containing ; as separator. Example: keywords = {keyword1; keyword2},. When pasting those into JabRef, there is no keyword separation. I wish there was. It would also be ok to replace the ; with , during the import process. Maybe this should be optional in the preferences, but probably not as I cannot imagine any words containing ;, but maybe I am wrong.

Summary of my annoyance: The users workflow is slowed down when trying to paste multiple keywords at the same time into JabRef, because they will be treated as a single keywords instead of multiple keywords.
