@zymurgic @Edent Yeah that's the obvious reason why "everyone edits all at once" wouldn't work, but I wonder what conditions could be created to allow it to work. I'm working on a very "broad" Ruby On Rails app, meaning we have many many views, controllers, and even many models, coding different parts of a big sprawling site. MVC style "separation of concerns". I think a few people *could* edit different files in parallel, but even then, make a syntax error in the User model it all tumbles down!

And yet, judging by the replies, there are lots of editors which support this and have people using it.
@Edent @zymurgic Sure the shared editing tools exist. I had colleagues who tried using a plugin for Visual Studio code, but decided they preferred shared tmux sessions, however...
they were only using this for pair programming sessions, coding together on something related, while on a call, and then committing their changes to git as usual.
