is there an app like this that is more general split screen share? or split terminal share?

i don't like how screen shares (skype, webex) are one-way, and require passing a baton back and forth. when you sit next to someone, you can each look on each others' screens seemlessly.

GNU screen supports this functionality and it is very useful. A google for '"gnu screen" "multiuser on"' should turn up a number of tutorials that explain in detail how to use it. To also split the terminal into multiple screens you should search for '"gnu screen" "split screen"'.

or tmux, which is does the same thing as screen.
