Geiser manual lookups broken with Guile

Geiser manual lookups broken with Guile

I've been annoyed by this issue ever since I started using Guile and
today I finally found time to get to the root of it:

https://gitlab.com/jaor/geiser/issues/252

Since there are a lot of Guile+Geiser users in this community, I'm
wondering if you people experience the same issue.

Anyone?

If no documentation is shown at all and a Guile REPL is connected to
your Emacs buffer, then you need to load some modules in the REPL
session first.

Done, but I don't think that's the issue.  I guess completion and "edit symbol"
in the REPL, but no manual lookup.

A ha! Now it works better.
I typed in this:
",use(guix)"
and now it shows me docstrings from guix. 😀

Would it be possible to do this automatically?

A separate chapter in the manual of geiser for setup with guile+guix 
would be really nice.

A few questions unanswered by the manual comes here:
1. If I edit a buffer a.scm and attach a repl with run-guile, can this 
repl be attached also to a buffer b.scm or do I to run-guile a second time?

I usually use C-c C-a, which is bound to
(geiser-mode-switch-to-repl-and-enter). It starts a Guile REPL if it wasn't
already, and enters the module corresponding to that of the buffer you
are visiting.

HTH!

Yep, I've often been unable to lookup some Guile documented features
using C-d d in Geiser... That must be the reason.

Thanks for digging into it!

I’ve had this problem for a while as well and I’m happy someone came up
with a fix.  Perhaps you should ping Jao in that issue!  :-)

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Ludo, does the fix mentioned in the link cut it for you?
It does not seem to work for me.
