How to get from a method's initialization block at quickest to the
implementation?

In Delphi I did it by holding Strg and click left with the mouse at
the name.
I Lazarus I need three clicks for the search function and I am
ambitious to save several hundred clicks a day. 

Is there some hotkey as well?

And is there even a hotkey for "minimize all methods to their
headlines"?

On my computer, that is [Shift] + [Ctrl] + [Up/Down].

For more shortcuts:
Lazarus main menu > Tools > Options > Editor > left panel: Key
Mappings

This would be useful for you:

(Note that "Strg" is the German name for CTRL)

You can use Ctrl + Click in Lazarus as well, though by default that
will take you to the header. You can then do Ctrl + Shift + Down to
get to the implementation. Alternatively you can install the
jumptoimplementation package which will modify Ctrl + Click so that it
will jump to the implementation directly instead.
