Works fine here.

It's not a run-of-the-mill keybinding: it's actually dynamically "bound"
(in a manner of speaking) when org-capture gets executed. Assuming you
have bound C-c c to org-capture, then you should get a menu somewhat
like this with C-c c (but note that it will reflect *your* definition of
org-capture-templates; and note also that the menu is constructed at
runtime):

,----
| Select a capture template

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| [C]     Customize org-capture-templates
| [q]     Abort
`----


`C' and `q' are predefined in this menu. The org-capture
code itself looks like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
      ...
      (cond
       ((equal entry "C")
        (customize-variable 'org-capture-templates))
       ((equal entry "q")
        (error "Abort"))
      ...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hope that clarifies,
