Teamtype for Emacs

This plugin adds real-time collaborative editing functionality to Emacs. You can use it for pair programming or note-taking for example. Teamtype is editor-agnostic, so you can collaborate with people who are using other editors.

This plugin requires at least Emacs 30.1.

Installation

;; Using emacs 30+
(use-package teamtype
  :vc (:url "https://github.com/teamtype/teamtype-emacs"
       :rev :newest

;; Using straight
(use-package teamtype
  :straight (teamtype
             :type git
             :host github
             :repo "teamtype/teamtype-emacs"))

Usage

1. Start a Teamtype daemon in a directory by either running teamtype share or teamtype join <join code>.
2. Activate the teamtype-client-mode minor mode for a file in that directory. This will connect the buffer to the Teamtype daemon, you should see a message like “Editor #n connected”.
3. Start collaborating, you should be able to see the cursors and edits from other peers.
