Use tab to step over auto-completed quote, bracket, etc. pairs

Scenario:

I'm coding something that involves a string, so I hit the single-quote button. SublimeText automatically puts in a terminating quote, and I continue typing my string. Once I'm done typing the string, I have to navigate past the auto-completed quote to continue typing. That requires me entering the single-quote button, the end key or the right-arrow key. This isn't so bad, but if I'm also in an array like so:
['test|'] (vertical bar = caret)
I need to type both a single-quote and a right-bracket.

Solution:

When the user hits the tab key, check to see if they're inside of an auto-completed string, array, etc and step over all adjacent elements so that the user can continue typing. So, if this is the situation:
'string|'
it'll just step over a quote. In this situation:
['string|']
it'll step over both the quote and the closing bracket. In this situation:
{['string|']}
it'll step over all three elements.

I've been looking to implement something like this. Aptana Studio does this by default. I've always loved this feature, makes coding feel really smooth.

The code to make this work is in the second reply to the thread.
