In vim, is there a plugin to use % to match the corresponding double quote (")?

Question

The % key is one of the best features of vim: it lets you jump from { to }, [ to ], and so on.

I'd like to expand on Greg's answer, and introduce the surround.vim plugin.

Suppose that rather than editing the contents of your quotes, you want to modify the " characters themselves. Lets say you want to change from double-quotes to single-quotes.

foo(bar, "baz quux")
              ^

The surround plugin allows you to change this to

foo(bar, 'baz quux')
              ^

just by executing the following: cs"' (which reads: "change the surrounding double-quotes to single-quotes").

You could also delete the quote marks simply by running: ds" (which reads: "delete the surrounding double-quotes).

There is a good introduction to the surround plugin here.
