Description
So this isn't so easy, honestly. Something I had issues implementing with Lowbrow.
Essentially you have to get the current window's current webview and then call <webview>.openDevTools() (sadly there is no toggleDevTools()). But that's not all, as <webview> tags can't have docked DevTools :(

Research direction
Locate the handler for the Toggle DevTools command and inspect how the current window’s webview is selected. Verify Electron’s DevTools behavior, then confirm the command targets that webview rather than the Electron window; the issue notes that docked DevTools are unavailable.
