You can always rebind it to a key you find convenient in your .emacs file 
(e.g. C-F5).  If you use that command often and really think a "C-x x ..." 
key binding in vanilla Emacs would not be sufficient, I would perhaps 
suggest C-M-|, which is close to C-M-\ = indent-region and would do 
something similar.
