This method looks for a nib file that contains a window controller class and a preferences utility. If found, it displays the window. To use this method you must create a menu item in your input method menu whose action is showPreferences:. When a user selects that item, the Input Method Kit invokes your showPreferences: method. The default implementation looks for a nib file named preferences.nib. If found, it allocates a window controller class loads the nib file. You can provide a custom window controller class by naming the class in your input method info.plist file, providing a key-value pair. The key must be InputMethodServerPreferencesWindowControllerClass and the associated value must be the name of your custom class.
