This seems risky. Many years ago, I could happily type in QWERTY and Dvorak (Colemak and Workman didn't exist yet), 60wpm on each in consecutive minutes. But I was having trouble with my joints (genetic condition). Moving my hand over to the arrow keys was a problem, so I modified Dvorak slightly to put the arrow keys in the middle (QWERTY's Y, G, H, B), put some letters and other keys on the number row, and put the numbers up on the function keys. It was close enough to Dvorak that it only took a few days to learn, but it had the unexpected consequence of breaking my Dvorak typing ability. The two were too similar.
Nowadays I use Workman [1] and put the arrow keys on the home row on a different layer (same locations as Vim).
