How can I set Hot Corners shortcut to minimize all applications?

Question

I remember that I used this trick a while ago, but can't remember the command I've used. Basically, I've set Hot Corner shortcut to "Execute custom command", and then typed in the command similar to minimize-all or show-all or something like that (neither one of those is the correct one). Can someone suggest what is the correct command for minimizing all the applications?

Answer 1

I haven't used commands you mentioned. but here is the solution for what you are asking.

first you need to install wmctrl.

sudo apt-get install wmctrl

then here is the command for minimize.

wmctrl -k on

this one is for restore all windows.

wmctrl -k off

hope this will solve your problem. cheers!!

Answer 2

show-desktop

Is what I use in hot corners in Luna--It worked in Freya too but updates apparently killed it.
