Research direction

Start by locating the documentation that describes the format \\sshfs\[locuser=]user@host[!port][\path] and compare its guidance for the map network drive dialog with Explorer. Update the relevant explanation to make that distinction explicit, then verify that the documented behavior matches both entry points.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Perhaps I'm the minority here but just spent about an hour finally to realize the format \\sshfs\[locuser=]user@host[!port][\path] only works in the map network drive dialog. Putting that in explorer does work but just navigates to the Network node.

Perhaps emphasizing this distinction in the docs would be beneficial - I suggest.
