You could try this package:

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs-de/hide-region.el

But I use for quic jumps another feature - bookmakrs.
I've definded in my .emacs two pairs of set/jump key bindings:


(global-set-key [\M-f9]
  (lambda () (interactive) (bookmark-set "quick-bookmark-1")))
(global-set-key [f9]
  (lambda () (interactive) (bookmark-jump "quick-bookmark-1")))
(global-set-key [\M-f10]
  (lambda () (interactive) (bookmark-set "quick-bookmark-2")))
(global-set-key [f10]
  (lambda () (interactive) (bookmark-jump "quick-bookmark-2")))

This had one advantages in relation to region hide - you can quickly
jumps over different files and jump points are stored for future
sessions.
