I was using Gnome but when I switched to XMonad the escape to caps lock remapping I created does not work. I am not sure how to configure XMonad to do this swap.
I tried
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Escape NoSymbol Escape" and xmodmap -e "keycode 9 = Caps_Lock NoSymbol Caps_Lock" and used xev to confirm that 9 and 66 where indeed the correct keycodes. However both escape and caps lock now toggle caps lock and neither toggles escape.

Can you edit your question to include what you've tried for the Capslock escape? Thanks– bertiebAug 30, 2015 at 1:18

The following worked for me:
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Escape"
xmodmap -e "keycode 9 = Caps_Lock"
xmodmap -e "clear Lock"
