Assigning keywords during photo import

Question

Hi, I'm using Aperture 2 since a long time and just testing Aperture 3.
I'm working heavily with keywords to categorize my shootings.
I really love Aperture's concept of keyword groups and would love to group my keywords which I currently organized in a flat list.
For instance I played around with a structure like this:
• People
     • Albert
     • Benedict
     • Caroline
• Shootings
     • Indoor
     • Outdoor
• Nature
     • Landscape
     • Animals
     • Plants
In the photo import dialog I usually enter related data like copyright, subtitle, and also keywords.
If I enter the keyword "Indoor" it's not detected as "Shootings > Indoor" but a new keyword is created in the first level of the keyword list. Sure, afterwards I can move and merge the newly created keyword to the correct group, but that's sure not the best way to handle it.
My question is:
How can I enter the keyword in the photo import dialog to be detected as "Shootings > Indoor" correctly?
I could not find any hint in Aperture 2 or Aperture 3 manual.
Thanks,
Matt

I am also missing the keywords section which used to appear where the little grey map is at the bottom of the metadata inspector. I found it was the best way to enter keywords, rather than the little box in the metadata section itself. Does anybody know if there is a way to get it back?
Have you tried the Control Bar (toggle with "d") or the Keywords HUD (toggle with {Shift}+h)?
IME, the Keyword entry field of the Control Bar, which features auto-complete, is the best (and only good) way to enter keywords in Aperture.
