I'm attaching a patch that fixes the issue for me (on a clean git
clone). Try it out when you get a chance and let me know if it seems to
resolve the issue.

A note on the patch though: I wasn't sure which keys you wanted to
consider "modifiers." The way I wrote it, you can use Control,
Alt/Altgr, Shift, and Meta as modifiers. Also, I made it so that
pressing ESC cancels the capture, since that seems to be a fairly
standard implementation in most programs. There's no visual notice that
you've left capture mode, but once you hit ESC it *does* free the
keyboard again. If there should be other modifier keys then let me know
and I can go in and add them.

Bug description:
It's a standard practice that when a user needs to set a macro, they enable the capture mode and press the modifier + macro to set it - not capture mode, modifier, capture mode again, and key.

This is really unintuitive and all it does is frustrate users because something standard doesn't work.
