This is a feature of the shell.
\ls and \vi force use of the base application instead of using the
alias. By default the shell uses the alias if one exists.
On mine I by default was given these aliases among others.
alias l.='ls -d .* --color=tty'
alias ll='ls -l --color=tty'
alias ls='ls --color=tty'
alias vi='vim'
Thus the \vi forces use of vi instead of vim and \ls uses ls without the
color option.
A very good reference on commands and how shells work would be "Unix
Shell Programming" or "Linux in a Nutshell" They both are outstanding
desktop references.
