Since ' is another way to enter text mode, perhaps using . could become an option. I know you have to choose some easy to type character for text-mode but . is in virtually every file name and it would be kinda useful to be able to identify extensions when searching. I suppose the indexing mechanism might have to be adjusted to include . too.
