How to add 'show all windows' functionality in xubuntu?

Question

I would like a hot corner functionality similar to that of Linux mint 17. Is there any way I can achieve that on Xubuntu?

something like this youtube.com/watch?v=Mr77FLgy0YI except it just show the current workspace and its windows minimized — user2988146, Dec 31, 2015 at 12:40
Wait, it canbe done, if this askubuntu.com/q/434137/72216 still works, I an make it work for you with the hot corner. Could you try and post back? (Baking oliebollen at the moment :) ) — Jacob Vlijm, Dec 31, 2015 at 14:52

I already had this plugin, that didn't resolve showing the windows all minimized.
