how do i create keyboard shortcut to specific query-replace?

how do i create keyboard shortcut to specific query-replace?

[Hod b]

Hello
I've trying to create a keyboard shortcut that replace some query that i
have in many(!) files with similar query.
Example:

original code: 
foo( type => 'bar', action => 'execute bar' );
foo( type => 'baz', action => 'special action' );
foo( type => 'bat', action => 'yyyyy' );
foo( type => 'bar', action => 'bar finished' );


new code: 
bar( action => 'execute bar' );
baz( action => 'special action' );
bat( action => 'yyyyy' );
bar( action => 'bar finished' );

I don't want to do that automatically to all my files,
because it depend on projects that we are work at the company.
my regex to this problem is s/foo\(\s+type\s+=>\s+'(\w+)',\s+/$1( /g
but i don't know how to save it to .emacs

thanks for trying help me.

With emacs, I've never found the need to write such complicated
search/replaces.

It's simpler to record a keyboard macro, name it, save it and
assign a key to it.

For the change you make above:

 foo( type => 'bar', action => 'execute bar' );
to
 bar( action => 'execute bar' );

move to before foo, start recording.
zap to ', forward word, type (,
zap to a, type space, a, move down a line
go to beginning of line, end recording.
Then name the macro, save it,
assign key.

create your keyboard macro, name it (`kmacro-name-last-macro' - bound to C-x C-k n), bind it to the key of your choice (`kmacro-bind-to-key' - bound to C-x C-x b), switch to your .emacs and then run 'insert-kbd-macro' with a numeric argument i.e. C-u M-x insert-kbd-macro (if you leave out the C-u then it will just insert the macro definition without the key binding code).

and the macro definition with a global-set-key sequence should be generated in your buffer. because you saved it in your .emacs it will be executed every time you start Emacs.

Hope this sounds like what you want :-)
