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, I have provided 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 Sinpei 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.

Multislotting
French cuber Sébastien Felix, who coined the term, was the first to suggest this technique, actively using some cases in speedcubing. Multislotting is a way to place another corner-edge pair into a basic position while solving a pair that is already in a basic position. See Sébastien's post and the multisloting guide at cubeloop.com.
