New features: Copy ingredient from Standard database to Custom database and more

We're always hard at work trying to make alacalc.com easier and faster to use and therefore more productive.

To prove out point we've got a few new features to tell you about, which are live now and ready to use.

The first feature is one that some of you have asked about, Copy from Database is a button you'll see in My Ingredients, and will allow you to choose an item from the database and copy all of the details to your custom ingredients for fine tuning.

The second new feature is for improving speed of input of ingredients to your recipe; in a recipe's Ingredients tab you can now navigate using your keyboard arrows and tab button to save switching keyboard to mouse and back again, this should shave valuable time off adding ingredients.

The third and final big improvement on alacalc.com in this round of new features is the introduction of the a la calc Standard database. This is a database of ingredients often used by manufacturers that don't appear in the other Standard databases.
