Input Accelerators

[r2dev2]

When inputting characters into cryptoduel, there are many repetitive tasks, such as: clearing all input, guessing based on etaoinshrdlu, and calculating frequencies of initial and final letters of words.

It would be nice to have advanced buttons to do these tasks. I can think of following buttons:

• clear cipher
• give up (there's no current way to give up and see plaintext)
• etaoinshrdlu input - user can select a range of most frequent characters and assign ciphertext->plaintext decryptions accordingly
• initial/final letter of words tables

All of the above buttons would be in a panel collapsed by default, preferrably in between the current replacement table and the "next problem" buttons, although this might be subject to change.
