is it possible for two people, using different emacs and keybindings to edit the same file synchronously?

I want to pair program with a couple of people but my keybindings in emacs are not the same as theirs. Is there a way to edit the same file but keep the keybindings different?

You can use any key bindings you like in any Emacs session you like. What do you mean by "my keybindings in emacs are completely foreign"? – Drew Sep 24 '18 at 04:00

Why not run two copies of emacs? If the config files are an issue you could use something like https://github.com/plexus/chemacs – Croad Langshan Sep 24 '18 at 21:56
@CroadLangshan how would they update the same buffer? – zcaudate Sep 25 '18 at 05:06
auto-revert-mode? Not the same buffer, but the same file, within a few seconds. Is the person you're pairing with local or remote, by the way? – Croad Langshan Sep 26 '18 at 18:43
