1. Out of band. 1a. That can mean, for example, a pre-existing understanding of the purpose of the session. If it's an "expert" connecting to perform an operation, then you've already agreed about who's going to be doing most of the typing. 1b. Via a live chat. That can be as simple as a Chat activity instance. Eventually, I am counting on overlay chat [1] and push-to-talk [2] to solve the out of band communication problems. 2. Multiple windows ShareTerm is built on GNU Screen, which supports multiple independent windows not unlike what you describe. (It sometimes calls itself a "text only window manager".) In "pair programming", for example, users could type in separate buffers, looking over each other's shoulders periodically.
