The text input for the Keywords have 128 characters limit.
Using tokens this limit could easily achieved with only 3,4 tokens. So maybe a textarea will fit better for this.

I'm not sure also about the page title.

Maybe this approach could be used for manual inserting of Metatags on Entities editing.

Default for text fields has been increased to 255 with http://drupalcode.org/project/metatags.git/commit/1c97f4c. You'll need to clear caches for it to take affect.

255 is better; but is there an HTML limit for this? i don't think so; so i'd have to agree with @vasike that should likely be a textarea.

Being keywords not considered by search engines and being keyword stuffing considered a bad behaviour, probably 255 is even too much :-)

If you want more keywords, use this alongside: http://drupal.org/project/metatags_quick

Add a keywords field, give it a nice big limit (cannot be changed later), then use the new keywords field instead.

not sure why this is marked as a duplicate of the case re: description being too short as this is about keywords; but maybe both fixed on that issue (although no mention of it).

anyway, great that this has been bumped to 1024 characters; but seems a little silly to have to try to edit this in a 60 character textfield; so this patch makes it a textarea like the others.

Given how irrelevant the keyword field is in today's SEO world, I'm not sure this is worth it. I might be willing to consider an advanced option that converts *all* textfield fields into textareas though.

Regardless of relevancy; clients still ask for ability to add keywords.
