Using emacs,
when I do,

M-x guix RET, under "Sub-popups" hit "c" (guix shell commands)

I can't mark "-l, --list-profiles",
because when I hit "-l",
'Switches' buffer automatically mark "-l, --list-generations".

The buffer showes the switches redundantly like below


Switches
 -l list generations (--list-generations) <-- "-l"
    ...
 -l list the user's profiles (--list-profiles) <-- "-l"


Both "--list-generations" and "--list-profiles" have the same short-form 
"-l".

I use emacs 26.3, guile 3.02, guix-20200518.1544 (from melpa)

Thank you for the report.  It has been reported upstream here [1].

BTW, you can also use "M-x guix-profiles" to see a list of profiles (and
press "h" there for a hint).

This has been fixed by:

Thank you for the report!  But since it is not a Guix bug, please report
such problems at one of Emacs-Guix trackers:

  https://gitlab.com/emacs-guix/emacs-guix/-/issues/new
  https://notabug.org/alezost/emacs-guix/issues/new

Since you use melpa, I think you can upgrade Emacs-Guix from melpa to
check if the change works.
