No, double-escape is not the same as the "ls -F" command.

The shells csh / tcsh let you bind key combinations to built-in shell commands. The double-escape sequence is bound to "complete-word" by default. This is a context-sensitive command. On a blank line you'll get something like the output of "ls -F" and if you type the following:

chmod esc-esc

You'll get a list of modes you can use: a g o u

Type "bindkey" by itself to see the complete list of bound keys. Read the tcsh man-pages for more information about commands that can be bound to keys.
