Allow any cell reorientation with a single click. #36

Figure out a UI that allows for twists with "directions" that are multiples 
of 1 and -1.

The ultimate goal in the issue title is not really possible (consider 
onehundredagonal puzzle), but we can and should come up with something that 
would be a big improvement.

Just thinking blue-sky here, I can imagine not a single click but perhaps a way 
to
continuously drag a face around the same way we currently drag the whole 
puzzle. (By
adding the Alt modifier, perhaps?) Imagine that whenever the orientation of 
that face
comes near a legal twist position, that it snaps to that position such that it 
stays
there if the user releases the mouse. Whenever they release the mouse it should 
fall
into the closest-fit position. 

This would cost the user one twist of course, though it would also be cool to 
let
them perform as many of these twists as they like on a single face and call it 
one twist.
