My Cygwin installer, setup-x86.exe, version 2.877 (32 bit), when using http://mirrors.kernel.org as the download site, with the View set to Full and the Search box containing "vim" (no quotes) shows 8 packages: fzf-vim gvim vim vim-clang-format vim-common vim-debuginfo vim-doc vim-minimal The package you want is the vim package.
