Added the following to ~/.xmodmaprc to swap the functionality of the left control key and the caps-lock key:

!
! Swap Caps_Lock and Control_L
!
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L

Load the above with the following command (which I put in my ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh):

xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
