Typically when I hit "Y" to modify the pkgbuild, it opens a file in /tmp/mvim/***** and shows me nothing but the single line:
PKGBUILD
Did I mess something up? I remember installing mvim-git at some point before I could no longer edit the pkgbuilds.

Can you edit the PKGBUILD manually?

What''s in your $EDITOR and/or $VISUAL env? Looks like the input file gets parsed by mvim as a file to rename instead of a file to open in vim

Given the AUR description, that doesn't surprise me:
Rename or move files by editing their names with vim.
Is mvim even an editor?
EDIT: no it isn't. It is a tool that calls vim to edit a file's name. So why is it surprising that when you call mvim on a PKGBUILD all you get to edit is the file's name?

It turns out that my .zshrc had set my env EDITOR='/bin/mvim' . It's all working now. Thanks for the help! And pleased to meet you all.

Wow, when did your .zshrc achieve sentience?
But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

After I was exposed to the awesome radiation of zshrc autocompletion.
EDIT: Whoops, I thought you said, when did I achieve zshrc sentience. Sorry, it's 3 in the morning. I should sleep. ~3~
