Not just parenthesis, but any surround. We are given the advantage of a pair being made and the cursor conveniently placed within. That's only 1/2 the procedure; what about jumping out?

Evil mode in Spacemacs. Thanks.

EDIT: okay, 'pair' instead of 'surround' keyword:

A elisp function to jump between matched pair

smartparens (described in the other answer you refer to) works well with quotes, too, just like inside parens. It's very useful even outside of lisps -- on just about anything that has open and close semantics, including strings and blocks.

For your case, use C-M-u (sp-backward-up-sexp) to jump up and out to the front of the string you're in. And if you want to jump to the right side instead, do the prior and then C-M-f (sp-forward-sexp) to get there.

  • Thanks. Parents and quotes yes. XML tag no. Will want to keybind what you provide - as in IDEs, just hit TAB or similar to finish and move on. – vv111y Dec 23 '16 at 18:14
