Conclusion

KeyboardKit 6.3 is another pretty huge release, that adds more locales and convenience functions and improves a bunch of small things. The input sets will make it easier to use the input information in more ways than before, and being able to inherit other sets will make the various implementations cleaner and more maintainable in the future.
