Subduing sublime - moving out of quotes with ease

Yet another entry shamelessly stolen from another blog.

I just started using Sublime and I really dig the bracket and quote auto completion, but it immediately became apparent to me, that it pisses me off as much as it helps me. There is no really good way to move out of the brackets without either typing them out - which defeats the purpose of auto completion in the first place, using arrow keys, using end key, or god forbid using the mouse.

The only built in functionality is control+enter which gets you a new line - not something you want every time.

The answer is to create your own key binding - below example gets you out of all kinds of brackets (the kind I use at least) and gives you a good template for setting it up for your own use.

For practice I setup 2 keys to do same thing: Tab and Enter. Might end up changing it later, or making it Shift+Enter or something
