Tab hot-key in Eclipse

One of the reason, why love Eclipse is hot-key tab;

jumping to the next without using Arrow key.

Example,

this.someKindOfMethod("some args");

As you all know, in here, if i open "" and type something and press tab it goes to ).

But sometimes, i don't know the reason, it doesn't do this feature and

"" becomes "     "

.....SAD :(

My question is, is there any hot-key to do tab feature in Eclipse?

This is part of the eclipse auto-close feature when you type ( it will automatically add a ) the same for " if it auto generates an auto-close feature pressing tab will push you to after the auto-close. If you press tab any other time it will be treated as pressing tab as it is not connected to the auto-close feature.

Auto-close can be found at Windows -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Typing
