Another possibility is to turn on the option "Switch to text mode if
no match is found" in the Command section of the main QS preferences

you go into it often, but also makes it more likely that you will go
into it accidentally.
I've been running with this on since the beginning and I think it's
extremely helpful with no drawbacks.
Yes, you may end up in text entry mode when you didn't mean to be, but
only if your typing didn't match anything, and in that case, there's
nothing to gain by staying in the "regular" mode either. Also, ending
up in text mode when you weren't expecting it makes it really obvious
that you've screwed something up and might as well stop typing.

Don't try to tell me a thing is important to you if the whole of your
"support" entails forcing other to spend time and money on it.
