Visual Studio Tab out of brackets/quotes?

I'm primarily a Java developer and I've recently started developing apps for Windows Store using Visual Studio 2012. When I started coding several years ago, I used Visual Studio 2008. I didn't think anything of certain features until I started doing Java in Eclipse. Anyway, in Eclipse, I can press "tab" to jump out of quotes or brackets. The only Visual Studio 2012 feature I could find remotely similar to this was included in Visual Studio 2012 Productivity Power Tools. It allows me to do Shift+Enter anywhere on a line, and it'll add a semicolon to the end of the line and go to the next one. While this is useful, it's not ideal in many situations. I am also using Resharper and have found no such setting in there. Thanks

The easiest way to jump out of the automatically inserted quote or bracket is to type the closing quote or bracket, i.e.: " followed by " or ( followed by ). You could also use the right arrow key. If you have resharper then you can use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to auto complete the current statement.

If you are a fan of keyboard shortcuts to move around your code then try the VsVim Extension.
