Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In native vim, there's no easy way to jump to a matching quote because quotes are symmetrical and there's no easy way to determine where a matching quote is. But since visual studio through its language servers provides rich parsing information, would it be possible to provide a way to jump to a matching single/double/triple (for python comments) quote similar to how you can do it for brackets?

Research direction
Start by examining how VSCodeVim currently handles bracket motions and how Visual Studio language-server parsing could identify matching single, double, and Python triple quotes. Done means defining and validating a jump behavior for each requested quote type, including how ambiguous or unmatched quotes are handled.
