Speaking as a user of both Dvorak and Qwerty, switching between
layouts frequently can be confusing. In particular the pain points are
the places where the two layouts are similar. I haven't done this so
much recently, but in the past I have often been typing away in one
layout, then come to an A or an M (which happen to be in the same
position in both layouts) at which point my brain would inadvertently
"switch" and I would suddenly find myself typing in the wrong layout.
I would expect that a localized layout with more similarity than what
there is between Dvorak and Qwerty would cause even more of these
types of problems.
