This is important for people who use international keyboard configs. We have to use two keys in succession to write quotes, and therefore the default behavior of hitting the quote key when the cursor is before one to escape it doesn't work. It only adds an additional quote, replacing the previous character in the process.

Having Tab escape quotes (as well as brackets, parentheses...) would improve the experience a lot !
