Dev tools from the runtime

[YuriSoloviov]

Is there a way to call devtools form the runtime? For example by pressing F12? Or at least is there a plans for that?

It's very easy to add such API, but why would you want that? Is there
any use case?

I think he just means how to launch the devtool by the user?

it just makes your app easier to debug, than always launch it with /developer param. Also, if it is defined in app source, you can use it in dev pricess but disable it in production. so, if it is no serious reasons against that feature, something like Window.OpenDevTools() would be great.

I've added it as Window.openDevTools(), see
