To be fair, I think you can already accomplish this using emacs-guix by
separating with commas multiple package names :).
Can you explain? I don't know how to do that.
The point of the Helm interface is that it allows to "batch select"
multiple packages. I don't think that emacs-guix can do that.

Another way in ‘M-x guix-all-packages’ or any ‘guix-search-by-*’:
• Hit ‘i’ on not installed packages.
• Hit ‘d’ on installed package.
• Hit ‘x’ to apply.
Thanks Oleg! 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).
