sudo -u pairon tee -a ~pairon/.ssh/authorized_keys < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
sudo chmod g+s ~pairon
sudo chmod -R 755 ~pairon
sudo chmod 600 ~pairon/.ssh/authorized_keys

Create a directory with files that you want to share.

mkdir my-share
cd my-share
echo Look at this file! > a-file

Start sharing your files.

pairon connect pairon@127.0.0.1:shared-repo

Then you can start editing files.

echo It is awesome >> a-file

To get the best experience in your editor enable auto-save and auto-reloading of files. The faster to save/reload files the better.

Check out the editor-plugins directory for plugins/settings that match your editor.
