I didn't mean to exit without input any keyword, after inserting the
keyword it will ask again for add more keywords, the problem is that It's
an infinite loop that it's not possible exit without pressing any
keybinding for insert an empty string (e.g. M-RET in Vertico), AFAIK
Vertico (and helm according to some commentaries) have this problem because
they use strictly the completing-read completion table for their candidates
when require-match is non-nil, the patch can be applied since it is just a
little change without any side-effect.

I think i will need to change the commit message for the patch, because it
can misunderstand.
