Hello I am connecting to my friend using SSH, and he would like to work together on a document from school. a simple TXT file would be perfect !! I know there is gobby for that: http://gobby.0x539.de/trac/wiki/Screenshots but it is for X only. Unfortunately vim do not offer this options of multiplayer edition, or not yet. It would be great that several users logged into a machine could modify and collaborate on a file store on the machine, or on a shared folder. a sort of Quote: mc -e multiplayerfilenotepad.txt could be great, with beautiful colors and stuffs... thank you so much! Best regards Y.
You can already do this using screen.
user vim@packages.debian.org usertag 561318 vim vim-uptodo thanks If you don't have to work on it at the same time, using a version control system is a good way to collaborate. There has been various discussions[0][1][2] about adding such functionality to Vim. It is also on Vim's voting list[3] for features, but is not very high so I doubt it will get implemented soon. Regardless, this isn't something that will be implemented as a patch to the Debian package. It would be a very large amount of work and is best done with close coordination to upstream.
