Modifier keys can't be used as hotkeys on Wayland

Observed behaviour

On a X11 session (or Windows), simply pressing Ctrl works as a hotkey. On Wayland, I can bind Ctrl, but then pressing it does nothing. Any non-modifier key (e.g. Tab) works fine.

Reproduction steps

  1. Open Fluxer in a Wayland desktop environment
  2. Bind a hotkey to any modifier key
  3. Attempt to use the hotkey
