do

cd ~
mv .denemo-1.0.9 HIDE.denemo-1.0.9
then re-run denemo. You will have "lost" your shortcuts, but they can be
retrieved. 
(I say they can be retrieved because if you mv the newly-created
default .denemo-1.0.9 and mv the .denemo-1.0.9 back to take its place
then you will have them back again. They are stored
in .denemo-1.0.9/actions/Default.*)

But the question is, how to retrieve the Default.shortcuts without also
getting the Default.commands which is out-of-date.

What should work is

cp ~/HIDE.denemo-1.0.9/actions/Default.shortcuts ~/.denemo-1.0.9/actions

done *after* the default (updated) .denemo-1.0.9 has been created.

What was intended when this code was written was that you should use the
command manager to load your old command set (so under Edit->Customize
Commands..->Manage Command Set you choose Load Custom Command Set and go
to your old Hide.denemo-1.0.9/actions/Default.shortcuts and load it. But
this procedure may be broken.

yes, you won't lose anything as long as you move your .denemo-1.0.9
directory first, and then use the "what should work" bit above.

Well, in fact you won't lose anything in any reasonable circumstance,
but you will get an old Default.commands that doesn't correspond to the
current set of menus, causing confusion.
