Yes, it is another solution.  Romaja keyboard can be effectively
regarded as a variant of 2-beolsik layout with a different mapping.
In 2-beoksik, they avoid syllable breaking ambiguity by assigning each
of ㄲ,ㄸ,ㅃ,ㅆ,ㅉ to a single shifted key, and commitment occurs at
syllable breaking or at a non-Korean key.

HWP inserts "아", and "aga" becomes "아가", "agxa" becomes "악아".
So, you don't have a way to enter an isolated jungseong.  I am not
sure which is better.  If you require "xa" for "아" and regard "a" to
be "ㅏ" as in 2-beolsik layout, you have more control on isolated jamo
input, but allowing "a" to be "아" looks more natural.  A possibility
is to make it configurable in the preference tool.
