Last Keys and Other UI Friendliness

The last keys project is winding down.  I just checked in the latest round of javascript upgrade for the m2kInputData function which includes a Most-Recently-Used stack on the up/down arrows, automatic display of validation name or description, and Auto-Fill from the MRU stack.  Yes scope creep is a problem, but they were low hanging fruit once the \LK infrastructure was developed. It would be wasteful not to gather them in while I was harvesting.

There are still a few more i's to dot and t's to cross, but it is starting to feel pretty impressive when you type along on the devweb and get the sort of experience you are only used to from PWS.

Next up will be some refactoring to reduce the startup time from PWS.
