Highlight matches 'quotes' and "double quotes"

How can I highlight matches for single quotes ('quotes') and double quotes ("double quotes")?

I read the docs and I saw there is something for brackets and tags:

"brackets_options":"foreground",
"brackets_foreground":"var(orange)",
"bracket_contents_options":"foreground",
"bracket_contents_foreground":"var(orange)",
"tags_options":"foreground",
"tags_foreground":"var(orange)",

but didn't found any solution for quotes.

Is there any option like "quote_options" or something like that with the same behavior as for brackets and tags?

I know about BracketHighlighter but this plugin is so slow and I generally prefer native options

I am working with:

  • PHP, HTML, JS
  • Default Mariana color scheme
  • Default theme
  • Sublime Text ver.: 3
Solution

  • There is no option to highlight quotes, but you can select all between the quote tags by using Selection | Expand selection to Scope or shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Space if you are looking for some functionality to "see" everything between the quotes.

    Example when you click somewhere in between the quotes and use above mentioned functionality:
