tmate VS instant.nvim

Have you tried https://tmate.io/ ? It's a fork of tmux that, on startup, gives you web links and ssh connection strings to connect to the session. For each connection method you get one adress for read-only access and one for normal access.

$ apt-cache show tmate [...] Homepage: http://tmate.io/ Description-en: terminal multiplexer with instant terminal sharing tmate provides an instant pairing solution, allowing you to share a terminal with one or several teammates. Together with a voice call, it's almost like pairing in person. The terminal sharing works by using SSH connections to backend servers maintained by tmate upstream developers; teammates need to be given a randomly-generated token to be able to join a session. . tmate is a modified version of tmux, and uses the same configurations such as keybindings, color schemes etc.

azratul/live-share.nvim is a Neovim plugin designed to facilitate real-time collaborative editing. It builds upon the functionality provided by jbyuki/instant.nvim, integrating seamlessly with Neovim to allow multiple users to share and edit text buffers concurrently. This document outlines the key features, installation process, and potential use cases for the plugin.

maybe this https://github.com/jbyuki/instant.nvim.

For example, instant.nvim just shows where other clients are currently inserting. Assuming you don't do something daft like invite 500 strangers for a free-for-all, you shouldn't run into any problems.

You could also force your coworkers to use neovim and everyone can use https://github.com/jbyuki/instant.nvim (/j)

This has already been working in other forms for years, see for example https://github.com/mhinz/neovim-remote which is now more or less discontinued because the respective core implementation is indeed better longterm (again - this is a difference because this implements an unopinionated extension protocol that’s now easy to deliver with the refactoring efforts, not an opinionated packaged solution). A useful and fuller experience for the special case of remote editing would be https://github.com/jbyuki/instant.nvim for example, they also use this API principle you wanted to see - it’s just a nvim-server that is controlled remotely and you have an editor locally that acts as your direct interface (and you take this functionality into every other embedded solution!). And all of that is not just just somewhat fiddled solution but iterated solutions of the varying states of this feature implementation (on the path to neovim 1.0).

This plugin looks promising. https://github.com/jbyuki/instant.nvim

I've been keeping an eye on instant.nvim, though I haven't used it yet
