AppleScript to create a “ShowDesktop” shortcut
When I’m on Os X I often miss the “show desktop” shortcut icon you can easily get on Windows. 
Yes, there is the expose version but it doesn’t really work the same. My Google-fu showed few solutions (like clicking a visible piece of your desktop while holding option+command down) but none that I liked so here is my input.
