I just learned the trick for setting up cdpath in tcsh and it looks pretty useful.

However, it seems that auto-complete of sub-folder names doesn't come with it. Is there any trick available on that? It'd be really cool since I'm entering certain directories a lot.

I am using tcsh 6.14.00 (Astron).

I'm using tcsh 6.18.01-3 under Debian Jessie and file complete is available with the TAB key in the same way that its available under bash.

Can you upgrade to the newer version?

Also: https://kb.iu.edu/d/aids suggests that it should just work with TAB for you. Don't use ESC key.

Try this in .tcshrc:

set autoexpand

as per https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/19256/tab-autocompletion-and-history-in-tcsh

or

set expand-glob

for just files
