I agree it is a little cumbersome.
Just a random thought.

I confess I use terminal based editors in remote sessions instead of
"GUI" ones. I just find (on my typical network access) that a terminal
is snappy and a remote GUI laggy and data hungry i.e. high latency and
slow. And let us not get into any GUIs which have spinny things, like
the SeaMonkey "throbber". A ghastly pipe-hogging data-quota wasting
GUI-update-stalling annoyance.
Just two remarks. One size does not fit all:-)
