No.  The usual way to achieve this is to set up an alias or a keyboard 
macro that calls ls with --colors option.

And btw, I hope by ``always'' you actually mean ``always, but only if 
standard output is the screen''.  In other words, do NOT invoke ls with 
--colors=always, or else you will see nasty side-effects.
