Hi, as per standard multi-view editors design, it is possible to have multiple views on the same document, where each view would have its own cursor. This is normally used when you open multiple windows on the same document. AFAICR, my old bad hack for this feature http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7964 http://www.lyx.org/trac/attachment/ticket/7964/lyx-collaborate-v4.patch was using exactly this approach: the local view would be visible on screen and allow interactions with the user, whilst the remote view would not be visible on screen, but it would copy any action performed remotely by the other connected user, namely: - I type in my local (visible) view, LFUN is sent to the remote user's remote view, that replays the LFUN onto the document on the remote user's LyX, triggering a refresh of the visible view local to the remote user, to reflect changes - remote user types in its local view, LFUN is sent to my remote view, that replays the action in my local copy of the document, triggering refresh of my local visible view of the document, to reflect changes. See for example BufferView::addRemoteBufferView() in that old patch, as well as ::send() and ::try_recv(). T.
