Cinnamon like features on lxde

Hi
I am a cinnamon user and I am thinking about switching to lxde.
But there are features of cinnamon that I will miss:

Toggle scale ( crtl + alt + down ): It shows all windows of an workspace and allows me to switch between them with the arrow keys.

Toggle expo ( crtl + alt + up ): It shows all workspaces and allows me to switch between them with the arrow keys.

Does anyone know a program that can do these things in lxde ( or another desktop environment)?

I'm not sure if this will work for you, but Xfce has a workspace switcher right on the taskbar. The Windows are represented be small blocks that can be clicked or dragged to different workspaces within the taskbar.

Lxde also have it. But I want something to create that effects.

Skippy-XD does almost what you want, in any environment. However, it doesn't support setting different hotkeys for both single-desktop and all-desktops mode. But it allows setting up the mode with the showAllDesktops option, so hopefully you may try to run two Skippy-XD instances with different configuration files simultaneously.
