shift-F11: repeatedly solve easy things

sieler

How about if a single control-F11 would solve all single-
candidate cells repeatedly, until either none are left or the
puzzle is solved. Similarly, shift-control-F11 would do
control-F11 and would do eliminations caused by naked pairs.

Or, you could have a set of solution techniques,
and allow the user to configure which ones are repeatable
via control-F11 ... ticking just "single digits" would make
control-F11 do what my first sentence asked for.
Ticking "single digits" and "naked pairs" would do the
second sentence (without introducing the awkward
shift-control).

The thought here is to get past the easy things and allow
the human to dwell on the tougher things.

(Why "control" as a modifier instead of shift? Many other
shortcuts already use control, so the finger is near it.)

thanks,

Stan
