I've pair programmed using a shared server for a couple years. Both of us ssh'ed into a server and used a shared tmux session and primarily used vim to edit code. Having a chat program on the side to share links or other info we wanted to keep allowed us to browse things like documentation at our own pace. An audio/video session if working remotely.

If terminal based pair programming doesn't work, Visual Studio Code has an interesting "Live Share" feature which works similarly. You keep some of your extensions (and don't even need all of the same extensions installed to make things work depending on who shares).

They've recently added shared buffers to the jetbrains stack as well (or at least goland): https://www.jetbrains.com/code-with-me/

I have yet to try it out though.

I tried it and it was pretty cool. You can each look through the code on the source machine independently, and summon each other to the place you're looking at. The changes I made were put into a separate changeset where the host could roll them back.
