alternative solution is just to give it a alias.

So, i have

(defalias 'qr 'query-replace)
(defalias 'qrr 'query-replace-regex)

Alias makes many frequently used command easy, esp when you already
have too many shortcuts to remember or don't have key space.

Recently query-replace and query-replace-regex are incorporated into
my ergo keyboard with just “Alt+5” and “Alt+Shift+5” (e.g. “Alt+%”).
(see http://xahlee.org/emacs/ergonomic_emacs_keybinding.html )

also, the orignial poster might be interested in:

(defalias 'lml 'list-matching-lines)
(defalias 'dml 'delete-matching-lines)

delete-matching-lines is just a alias to the “flush-lines” too. The
“flush-lines” is a 1980's terminology, it's probably best to not
spread it.
