I'd say it's probably the way a programmatic process was designed. Call it what you like
Anyway, when I change dirs from the remote view while holding in ALT, it is obviously only changing dirs locally
after the remote directory has loaded. Idealy, it should load the local dir
onClick, or in other words, at the same time the chdir command is executed remotely.
I find it a little annoying that I have to keep holding the ALT key in when browsing synchronously from the remote view until the dir is loaded.
This process works fine from the local dir because it loads instantly.
