possible, but would require programming...

Well, of course, it isn't. Only root can do that. When you save the
default it creates Default.commands in your .denemo dir.

that would be nice, but would require a fair bit of programming.
Actually only nice for the true hackers who hack the files themselves -
most people would not like to know what was in their, and would not care
if it was 100kB or 100 bytes.

well, you might want to load one of the system ones. And you might want
to save but not as your default. I don't see how to reduce that
complexity without reducing the functionality

Well, that would change if we had more users. The techie ones will
create commands and shortcuts - there have been some!
