How to set Level3_Shift to Caps Lock AND Compose to Caps Lock+Ctrl in XFCE?

I switched from SUSE recently, which uses KDE as a default desktop environment. In KDE, it is possible to archieve such a setup with GUI options, but not in XFCE.
I've tried set up the ~/.Xmodmap file the following way:
clear Lock
clear Control
clear Mod2
clear Mod5
keycode 77 = Caps_Lock Num_Lock Caps_Lock Num_Lock
keycode 66 = ISO_Level3_Shift ISO_Level3_Shift ISO_Level3_Shift ISO_Level3_Shift
keycode 37 = Control_L NoSymbol Control_L NoSymbol Multi_key Multi_key
add Control = Control_L Control_R
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Mod2 = Num_Lock
add Mod5 = ISO_Level3_Shift
What happens:
Caps Lock functionality goes to Num Lock
Num Lock functionality goes to Shift + Num Lock
What I expected to happen, but it did not:
Caps Lock button should beISO_Level3_Shift(it is, according toxev, but it has the functionality of usual Shift somewhy)- Pressing Caps Lock + Left Ctrl should act as Compose key (does not work).
What am I doing wrong? Xubuntu 18.04, fresh installation
keyboard-layout xfce xmodmap capslock compose-key

If you did it in KDE using system settings, it's probably easier to do it viaxkboptions. Please tell us how you did it in KDE.
