To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. I believe that Xpertmud lets you
create a macro that corresponds to an existing keybinding, but then the
macro will never work (i.e. the keyboard shortcut is executed instead).
I'm not sure if this is something in the way Qt is handling the keys or
if it's Xpertmud that keeps track, though. I'll play around with it and
see what I can figure out.

One possibility might be to have grab_key_callback() handle checking for
already used keybindings. You could use QKeyEvent::matches() to check
through an array of keybindings or something, then just add entries to
the array as new shortcuts are implemented.

Creating a macro with a modifier is non-standard and unintuitive

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.
