Answer 1

Edit your .sublime-keymap file and add

// Skip past round and square autocomplete brackets
    { 
        "keys": ["shift+enter"], "command": "move", "args": {"by": "characters", "forward": true}, "context":
        [
            { "key": "following_text", "operator": "regex_contains", "operand": "^[)\"\\]\\}\\$]", "match_all": true },
            { "key": "auto_complete_visible", "operator": "equal", "operand": false }
        ]   
    },

In this case, shift + enter will function like tab in visual studio.

The solution is originally not mine - I found it either here or on the ST2 forum.
