    <thetext>There does not seem to be a way to show the web inspector from code. The current only way is to right click in the WKWebView and select &quot;Inspect Element&quot; from the menu.

This used to be pretty easy with the old WebView:

    WebInspector *inspector = [[WebInspector alloc] initWithWebView:webView];
    [inspector showConsole:self];

I would love some simple way like [webView showInspector:] or private like  [webView _showInspector:]

I know it should probably possible today by calling some internal methods, but I haven&apos;t been able to figure that out. Hints would be really appreciated.</thetext>
