FakeVim?

Reading the documentation for retext, I found this among the possible configuration options:

useFakeVim     boolean     whether to use the FakeVim editor, if available (default: false)

I had never heard of FakeVim and it seems I don't have it available. Is it provided by a package in Arch or aur?
I only found instructions to install it manually (which is something I try to avoid) and it's unclear what would
make it "available".

Anyone has FakeVim working on retext or any other editor? Any suggestions?

Re: FakeVim?

Retext's documentation points to the repo here: https://github.com/hluk/FakeVim

The build instructions are pretty standard, so it'd be easy to make a PKGBUILD for this (but be sure to build the optional python module too).

And all this is actually clearly laid out in the retext wiki under a top-level sidebar link named "FakeVim".

That does it, thank you. Somehow I hadn't seen it.
