Well, C-c C-r is major mode territory, right?  So would not be suitable
for a global binding.

The C-x g suggestion from Juri seems the most reasonable so far.

To be honest I am inclined to agree with Drew that the command is not
worth a global binding.  Most people probably use it infrequently enough
in buffers where it does not have a local binding that they can just
access it with M-x, and those who do use it more frequently than average
can add a personal binding like C-c r.
