True, although I usually launch my programs from rofi and I haven't
figured out how to re-source the environment for that.

Thanks, I just sent a patch for adding emacs-buffer-move. Figured I
start with one and see how that goes. Then follow with the rest.

Really digging the git send-email workflow.

Yeah, my errors are probably due to I'm using emacs-next (27.0.91) and
`use-package`. And I still need the ability for emacs to download all my
packages as I don't have access to guix on my work machine. Although I'm
toying with the idea of using `guix pack' to deploy emacs on my work
machine.

Oh, did not know about the data service. Thanks for pointing that out. I
did a `guix import elpa -a melpa-stable -r ts` and that built fine. So
maybe just update emacs-ts from 0.1 to 0.2 will fix the issue.

Probably an issue that I'm using emacs 27 instead of emacs 26.

No worries.

Anyways thanks for all the help!
