I don't believe that'd help. Editing in Kakoune encourages and enforces a different editing style (one based on visual selection). You'd have to still learn Vim. Personally, I played https://vim-adventures.com/ https://vim-adventures.com/ to get a basic grip on Vim, later I kept a cheat sheet handy, and yet later I just looked up commands and features as necessary. I recommend disabling the arrow keys in your vim config and to just use it.
