15 June: Color scheme now adjustable from http://cubefreak.net/site/colorscheme.html
16 June: Cleaned up color changing code. Cube color now also adjustable.
Advanced F2L
Actually, I haven't yet included things like R'U2RDw'RUR' that include a rotation or a double layer turn in the middle.
Orientation-Preserving F2L
Jeff2L
and more random stuff.
Tell me if there's something that should be on these lists!

Advanced F2L
The F2L List section lists almost all D-cross normal F2L cases, where a case here is defined by the pair pattern (e.g. Q1), the target slot, and any empty slot. This means that two configurations belong to the same case if they are interchangeable with a U move, but not with y or Dw move. For each case, we have provided reasonable algorithms that solve the case without first reducing to another case, i.e. algorithms not beginning with y or Dw. This list is inspired by the F2L series on Simpei Araki's cublog, CubeSpace.
The list excludes Jeff2L cases as well as special F2L cases, intended control more than normal cases (e.g. OLL skip). Adjacent-slot Jeff2L as well as some special cases are listed after the normal F2L.

Orientation-Preserving F2L
It is easy to recognize when the last F2L pair have all U pieces on U layer correctly oriented. In these situations, the algorithms below solve last pair and the last layer orientation, leaving only PLL. Of course, The list excludes pair patterns where the corner or the edge is incorrectly oriented in place. The better algorithms are worth learning.
Jeff2L
Jeff2L refers to any F2L case where neither the corner nor the corresponding edge is in the U layer, and where at least one is in a wrong slot. When there are only such F2L pairs (as it happens all the time to Jeff, after whom Jeff2L is named), most cubers do RUR', say, to get a normal F2L case.
We provide here a complete list of adjacent-slot Jeff2L cases, as well as a few special diagonal-slot cases. Since these cases have fairly easy recognition, they may be useful even when there is a normal F2L case.
