I keep forgetting about this interface; he-he, it is only one of about 10 different interfaces of this kind (for packages, profiles, generations, services, etc.). If you use only "M-x guix", you miss most of Emacs-Guix features. > there doesn't seem > to be an entry point from M-x guix for easy discovery. "M-x guix" can't be an entry point for this or any other interface, it is only for "guix" *shell* commands. Actually I'm very surprised someone uses "M-x guix", I find it unpractical. I even plan to rename it to "M-x guix-command", and to make "M-x guix" a real entry point for the various Emacs-Guix commands (including "guix-command" and all the interfaces). --=20 Alex
