Step 1. From KT run xterm, then run tmux:

Code:

tmux -S /tmp/pair
chmod +x /tmp/pair

Step 2. From computer, ssh to kt ( I use Putty) then type:

Code:

tmux -S /tmp/pair attach

After the two steps above we can use computer's keyboard instead of Xterm keyboard to do smt (such as learn linux with kindle screen).
Step 3. From putty ssh to computer.
Step 4. Finish. Type command and see result on KT and Putty together.

Get Xterm and Tmux from here.
Thanks baf for his xterm. It's souce of my ideas.

Have fun!

Note: Here is xterm full screen (without board) ( by baf)
