Go to next or previous meaningful code edit point
Often when I'm typing or going through code with the keyboard, I like to use arrow left/right with Ctrl or Shift (or Option on Mac?) or Home/End etc to move the cursor to whatever thing I need to edit (rather than keep grabbing the mouse or holding down arrow keys), but it still often doesn't put me at the next meaningful edit point, and I still have to do a lot of button presses or mouse clicks to get there.
For instance, I use Emmet to generate HTML tags, so I type `label` then hit tab, which lovingly puts the caret within the `for` quotes, then I type the name, but then arrow right or Ctrl+right doesn't put it in the tag's inner portion, it goes to just before the `>` in the opening tag...

This is nice I guess when I want to add more attributes to the tag, but it would be nicer to have a keyboard shortcut to just move to the inner part of the element. Conversely it would be very nice to go back to the `for` value, or to a previous tag's attribute key or value, etc (and not just with HTML, but having the caret go to the next or previous PHP function param would be very nice).
I found "Next Emmet Edit Point", which works but only for empty value edit points... I'm not seeing how to just have a keyboard combo traverse through each meaningfully editable key/value edit point.
