So um..... call me ignorant, but how is this any different from: person 1: screen -t "foo" person 2: ssh person1@blahblah.com screen -x "foo" ?

- anonymoushn 13y agoOne person can use emacs while the other one uses vim
- sampo 13y ago> screen -t "foo" You mean screen -S "foo" right?
- cheesylard 13y agoYeah. I'll edit that in. Thanks. edit: Never mind. Looks like I can't.
- thejosh 13y agoNot everyone uses the same editors.
- kansface 13y agoAs thejosh pointed out, not everyone uses the same editor. Futhermore, most programmers (I estimate 90%) don't use terminal based editors. Some common distributions of emacs/vim (MacVim) won't even run in a terminal for that matter. Forcing N users to share one screen and one editor sucks. Finally, absolutely no one wants to deal with private keys and setting up users/groups.

- johncoltrane 13y agoFor what it's worth, you can run MacVim in a terminal emulator with $ mvim -v filename
- oneandoneis2 13y agoYou don't need to pretend to both be "person1" to share the screen. Person 1 (in screen): ^a:acladd person2 Person 2 screen -x person1/
