Hi Richard,

Use the keyboard shortcut to pop up the 'add serving' dialog box.
You can double-tab from the search field to the top hit. Unfortunately,
since selecting any result transfers keyboard focus to the 'amount' field,
you can't arrow through the results. It had to be one or the other.

For a more detailed analysis of why the change to the main window was
made, and why it's faster, check out my recent post: http://spaz.ca/?p=219
