How to disable DevTools in Atom Shell

Question

I've been trying to figure out how to disable the devtools in Atom Shell. I've tried using a window event listener to no avail. It seems that the devtools-opened window event listener doesn't work. The devtools are still openable by Command+Option+I shortcut.

mainWindow.on('devtools-opened', function(){
    mainWindow.closeDevTools();
});

In the end I went with Mousetrap and had to use a e.preventDefault() on a Cmd+Shift+I shortcut listener. I'd rather not have to include the Mousetrap library if it's unnecessary but as of yet I can find nothing.

Does anyone know of a better way?

Did you install a custom menu (i.e. overriding the default Atom Shell menu?) Once you do this, you'll actually have to explicitly implement the Devtools shortcut to get it to work.
