Any way to make snippets available inside quote marks in Visual Studio Code?

One thing I find incredibly annoying about VSCode is that none of the defined snippets will be available inside a set of quote marks. This means that if you have a snippet to trigger, say a set of double curly brackets, you can't use a snippet to trigger them inside, say, an anchor tag (e.g. Laravel: home).

This annoyed me so much that I ended up using BetterTouchTool to configure Cmd+[ to render 2 sets of curly brackets and move the cursor to the middle.

But there should be a way to do this in VSCode.Atom has this functionality out of the box, but it's so annoying and doesn't have many of the other features of VSCode without adding a lot of packages.

Is there any way to trigger this functionality inside VSCode? Any extensions that can do this?

Withing strings it is possible. If by quote marks I am assuming within strings. If so

You need to modify your editor snippet settings.

Go to your settings, search for quick, find this option

editor settings

And add this to settings.json

"editor.quickSuggestions": {
        "other": true, // you need this if you want ctrl+space to work elsewhere. 
        "strings": true // this is your relevant option
    }

You can use Intellisense to find more options regarding this too! (ctrl+space) within that object.
