The problem is, that AA is not a modifier key, it has its meaning alone.
I don't think there are any unoccupied modifier keys left.
I think that the problem could be addressed by adding special option to the keyboard.txt file (say "auto_switch_back = true").
Once this option is activated, physkeyb would switch the keyboard layout back to the original one after typing single letter.
The main drawback of this hack is that it doesn't work in the browser. That limits its usage to making notes and entering search strings.
It's nice though that it can happily coexist with keybru and launchpad.
