Description
On OS X (using zsh), when navigating to a new folder (e.g. cd /keybase/public/filipedoe), keybase will create all intermediate folders too (for any existing users). This clutters the filesystem with a lot of unwanted folders for users I have no intention to colaborate with. In this example you end up with the following folders under /keybase/public/:
- fi
- fil
- filip
- filipe
- filipedoe
The same happens with private shared folders (e.g. /keybase/private/myuser,filipedoe).
Folders should only be created when pressing enter after executing cd /keybase/public/filipedoe, not dynamically as you're typing the command.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Reproduce the behavior on OS X with zsh using a cd command into a new Keybase public or private path, then trace the client’s folder-creation and shell integration behavior. Done means intermediate folders are not created while typing and are created only after the command is submitted.
