Thank you so much! I actually really like this way, I am going to start using it!
You've found the best place to learn algs, so that's good. I just learn all of a certain group (You can subdivide the large sets, like F: there are two 7-movers that you should learn right away, then 4 with one edge attached to the corners and four with a bar separate from the headlights) and review them every night or something. That way, you can recognize better whether you know the PLL or not. I learned the PLLs very slowly because I was lazy, but what I'm doing for OLL is learning a group once a week, reviewing all the algs daily by setting them up and solving them. Trainers would be really helpful though........
He is apparently learning to code to make his own trainer.
I have tried it out but I don't like how it takes up more vertical space on Cs Timer and how you can't use the draw scramble function with it.
I agree that it’s pretty annoying that it’s not compatible with some of the tool functions, but I don’t mind that it takes up more vertical space since I don’t need to strain my eyes as much since there are fewer characters.
I think I have the opposite problem, if I scramble with Pochmann I find myself doing. A move twice on both R and D or not doing a move at all, but the way that it’s spaced with Carrot it makes it much easier to see them as a pair of moves and it’s harder for me to get lost, and it definitely helps that there are only 77 characters per scramble compared to 217 on Pochmann notation
I personally use a full single push to do U2' on pretty much everything. I know it has a fancy name but I can't remember it, just put your finger on the BLU Corner and then push it to the URF spot. If you aren't good at doing the U2 that I explained then I think that a different grip could help. I personally have my pinky on the bottom during my mega solves but I have pretty big hands and use the LM. Just experiment with different grips and see whats best for you
I would recommend doing this. The fingertrick is called an "eido".
Thank you so much! I will get started learning that recog.After spending about an hour staring at these, I have found a recognition strategy that I think is fairly easy. So things that I noticed all these cases had in common was
1. They all have a 1x3 block.
2. If you line up the 1x3 block, then there is another solved edge that is not adjacent to the block.
3. They all have 3 unsolved edges when you line up the block.
4. There are 3 unsolved corners, but one of them is attached to an edge when you line up the block.
So I came up with a way to recognize the case by seeing what shape the 3 edges and the corner that is in a 1x2 block make.
F2 cases: If you look at the 3 edges, the corner that is part of the block, and the center, then it kind of looks like a paper airplane. So to recognize between the two F2 cases, see where the pointy side of the paper airplane is.
F3 cases: This one looks a bit like a cannon to me. To tell the difference see which side the cannon is facing.
F4 cases: From a certain angle this one looks like a dude with no arms and a long nose. See which way his nose is facing to tell the difference.
F5 cases: This is tricky because it also makes a paper airplane shape. But I noticed that unlike F2, the 1x2 is not adjacent to the 1x3. So that is how I would tell the difference.
Here are some visuals if you aren't seeing what I'm seeing.

Thanks!Ok, here's a way to recognize them without aligning the blocks (this is how I recognize these cases)
F2 and F3 have an edge attached to the headlights. Tell those apart based on whether or not the edge touches the bar and the location of the headlights (right or left with bar in the front)
F4 and F5 have a 1x2 bar separate from the headlights. Again, it's either touching or not and on the left or right.
As for the algs, I use different ones so I can't help you there
What do you mean by edge attached to the headlights?
