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 have found this technique very useful for going to the start/end of a very long quoted string.

1. when cursor is inside the string, visually select the whole string using vi" or vi'
2. go to start/end of the string by pressing o
3. press escape to exit visual select mode

this actually takes the cursor next to the start/end quote character, but still feels pretty helpful.

Edit

Adding Stefan's excellent comment here which is a better option for anyone who may miss the comment.

If you use va" (and va') then it will actually visually select the quotes itself as well.
