Hello,
I was looking for that feature for the very long time.
I use vim for programming and I always keep forgetting about closing the parents, quotes etc.
I wanted to remap the keyboard in insert mode in that way that when I open a quote or parent I will get the closing one and the cursor would be placed between these two characters.
here is the stuff I put in my ~/.vimrc file
<pre>
:imap ( ()<Left>
:imap [ []<Left>
:imap " <C-V>"<C-V>"<left>
</pre>
I had to use <C-V> to avoid recursive mapping of the " character.
Maybe there is the feature build in vim already but I couldn't find it :)
Every comment is welcome :)

There exist several (many ?) plugins and tips focusing on this issue on this site.
For instance, check my set of plugins available here vimtip#50, and used in several ftplugins (see vimtip#336, and http://hermitte.free.fr/vim/) of mine.
Regarding the recursive definition of ", dont use :imap, but :inoremap. Actually, you'd better always use the :*noremap commands and reserve :*map for the cases you explicitely need them.

inoremap ; <C-O>A;
