+By default, when you open a Scheme file, @code{guix-devel-mode} will be
+activated (if you don't want it, set @code{guix-devel-activate-mode} to
+nil).  This minor mode provides the following key bindings:

+Copy the name of the current Guile module into kill ring
+(@code{guix-devel-copy-module-as-kill}).
+
+@item C-c . u
+Use the current Guile module.  Often after opening a Scheme file, you
+want to use a module it defines, so you switch to the Geiser REPL and
+write @code{,use (some module)} there.  You may just use this command
+instead (@code{guix-devel-use-module}).
