I was previously able to get this awesome package:
https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/plugins/caps2esc
..working on my Kubuntu installation.
I followed the instructions https://askubuntu.com/a/979606/693219 and it worked fine.
I'm pretty sure I followed them identically. All binaries seem to be in place. I've checked the contents of the config files multiple times.
So....
Is there anything about BunsenLabs that would require something different than what that post suggests? The technology here is a bit beyond me: systemd, systemctl, etc. So I don't know if there's something obvious I'm missing.

Did you also install the dependencies that others seem to have needed? eg Interception Tools?

Perhaps adding
setxkbmap -option caps:escape
or
setxkbmap -option caps:swapescape
to appropriate openbox autostart (.config/openbox/autostart in my case) might be enough? (not as deep as adding interception/systemd service I guess).

How do I determine whether I'm using *bunsenlabs-session* or *openbox-session*?
Oh.... I guess the "guess and check" method works... apparently I'm using openbox-session...
setxkbmap -option caps:swapescape
is a great quickfix for the dire scenario of having my Ctrl/Esc key turned into CapsLock, thanks!
But it doesn't provide the *Ctrl* functionality when it's pressed in combination with another key. That's the magic
A lower-level solution would be more optimal, but I'd gladly settle for autostart config right now. Is there a way to do what caps2esc does via openbox autostart config?

Oh nice
udevmon was in a different location here, /usr/local/bin/udevmon instead of /usr/bin/udevmon. Updating /etc/systemd/system/udevmon.service to find udevmon at proper path makes it work.
Yay <3

How did you determine that?
BunsenLabs systems use the bunsenlabs-session in fact.
When you logout, the little icon on the top right of the lightdm login should show the bunsenlabs flame. There's a drop-down menu offering openbox-session too but that's a much simpler thing which you have to configure yourself.

Well I could certainly be mistaken about that. What led me to believe I'm using openbox-session was because putting `setxkbmap -option caps:swapescape` into `~/.config/bunsen/autostart` didn't work but it did work to put that in `~/.config/openbox/autosart`. I don't believe I've done anything to configure openbox or switch from the default session manager.

Yes, that's pretty good evidence (assuming you mistyped the filename in your post).
~/.config/openbox/autostart is ignored in a BunsenLabs session.
But now I'm wondering if you're using BunsenLabs at all? Are you getting the normal BunsenLabs desktop with wallpaper, tint2 and conky?
Maybe you could post the output of these commands?
cat /etc/debian_version
cat /etc/bunsen/bunsen_install
cat ~/.config/openbox/autostart
And then, could you try logging out, and checking the third icon from the right, at the top of the LightDM login screen? It's a dropdown menu which should offer 'BunsenLabs' 'Default Xsession' and 'Openbox'
Choose 'BunsenLabs', log in and see if things have changed.
