==
For a suggestion to be considered for implementation on the FunKey S, it must:
* Not involve the modification of the FunKey S hardware.
* Not involve the infringement of copyrighted and/or trademarked content.
* Be within the realm of reason of the hardware limitations of the FunKey S.
All suggestion tables have a status column to indicate the level of progress made on each suggestion. A blank cell indicates no reported progress, a red cell indicates that the suggestion is not currently feasible, an orange cell indicates that the suggestion has not been implemented for a specific reason, a yellow cell indicates that the suggestion is currently in the process of being implemented, a light green cell indicates that the feature has been implemented by a third-party developer, and a dark green cell indicates that the feature has been integrated by the FunKey Team into [[FunKey-OS]].
<!--T:903-->
Note that a suggestion having a blank status cell does not indicate that it can or will be implemented, only that it has been suggested by a FunKey S user. Suggestions that would require the modification of the FunKey S hardware will be listed in the [[#Hardware modification suggestions for future devices|last section]] of this article, as while they cannot be added to the FunKey S, they could be implemented in future devices created by the FunKey Team.
