A quick note that another engineer mentioned to me an experimental
plugin for Sublime <http://www.sublimetext.com/> that does remote pair
programming.  Sublime is released under a "You can try it forever, but
please buy a license code if you like it." license and runs on OSX,
Windows, and Linux.

Tutorials:
<https://tutsplus.com/course/improve-workflow-in-sublime-text-2/>.
They'll get you started (especially with plugins).
<https://tutsplus.com/lesson/multiple-cursors-and-incremental-search/>
is especially persuasive, I'm told.
