This is possible with my plugin also, but only if you change «<F8>» to just
{some_key}: it is not intended to work with functional keys and I won't change
this. In this case transliteration sequences will change insignificantly:

:Tr3Command add a@ â
:Tr3Command add a@@ ä
:Tr3Command add a@@@ æ

and so on. You do not need to write an uppercase variant here: A@@@ will
automatically be transliterated to Æ (you may change this by explicitely
specifying transliteration sequence for A@@@, but in this case you will have to
explicitely specify sequences for A@ and A@@ or A@@@ will be the only sequence
starting with A). If you still want to use <F8>, you will need to write your own
plugin: I do not think that there are many people that prefer this variant as it
requires to move the whole arm, not just fingers what is incompatible with fast
touch-typing.
