I don't get it. If your default directory is
"/ssh:tlok.local:/Users/shipmints/", (file-remote-p default-directory)
always returns "/ssh:tlok.local:", and (file-remote-p default-directory 'host)
always returns "tlok.local". In the shell buffer, you cannot go to
another host.

Please give me a step-by-step scenario, if I miss something.

Best regards, Michael.
