https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/e92b7814e376750bba40c1b5082959e5da571d8e adds a C-space command that jumps to after the current auto-pairs like in tabout mechanisms in other editors. The behavior might need some tuning but is pretty usable in most cases where you need to use tab-out to not exit insert mode.
