Bug Description

Hot Corners are disabled by default as of today's Ubuntu 17.10 build.

To enable them, run this from a terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell enable-hot-corners true

There is a top hot corner to open the Activities Overview.

I think it makes sense to balance that by adding a bottom hot corner to open Show Applications.

Other Info
===========
You could even add a 3rd hot corner in the top right to open the system status menu but that may actually be really annoying with the window management buttons (minimize, maximize, close) there.

The gnome-shell patch is named "enable-hot-corners" implying that GNOME itself plans to make use of other corners? or is that just for multi-monitor? It might be worth asking GNOME what their current future intentions are for that.

If we enable bottom left hot corner to open "Show Applications", then it would be nice if "Show Applications" icon remains in the left bottom corner when we set "Screen position" to bottom in Settings window.
Currently "Show Applications" icons moves to right bottom instead of left bottom corner, but in all popular Desktop environments (KDE, LXDE, Windows, MacOS X, etc) Applications (Start menu) button is in the left bottom corner.
Original Dash to Dock extension has a setting to move the Show Applications icon to the top of the dock, maybe it would be wise to implement this setting in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock?
