How to move cursor to first word inside quotes?

I want to move cursor to content. I'm using ^ to move to first non-whitespace character, w to first word.

<div class="container">
|   <div class="content">
        <p>I love you.</p>
    </div>
</div>

The pipe (|) shows the cursor position. How can I move it to content word? Like this:

<div class="container">
    <div class="|content">
        <p>I love you.</p>
    </div>
</div>

If you're not on the right line, you can search with: /".\{-}\<\zs\w

Depends on a little but on what you want to do, but basically this can be done with:

f"w

f jumps to the char specified next, so f" jumps to the first quote, and the following w moves to the next word. But usually you don't just want to go there, if you want to insert a word before "content", you can do it directly with:

f"a

If you want to change the content inside the quote just do the following:

ci"

Vim will automatically jump to the next quote.

There are more similar commands, so you should tell us what you want to do exactly!
