not addressing your original question, but to jump over large chunks in 
a file you may want to consider an alternative to reaching for the 
mouse, like in your case (roughly):
C-2 M-<

,----[ (beginning-of-buffer &optional arg) ]
| Move point to the beginning of the buffer; leave mark at previous
| position.
| With C-u prefix, do not set mark at previous position.
| With numeric arg N, put point N/10 of the way from the beginning.
| (beginning-of-buffer &optional arg)
| ...
