I tried several LaTeX editors with auto-completion functionality, but none of them make life easier. The problem is when they auto-complete a command, such as \frac, they usually add {} automatically and you have to use the arrow keys to navigate out of the braces. But arrow keys are far away from the center of keyboard and pressing them really slows down my editing process. Is there any LaTeX editor that allows you to use Tab key to jump from braces?

Preview functions are very much down to editor & some win gui users like the constant character by character approach of Bakoma or LyX, However the simplicity of gummi (on windows) compiling the file before it has even finished loading the start-up message and then compiling every one second that your not editing is impressive & I can see it is a familiarity that would be hard to match. So why not stick with what you know?
Here is a link to the last version available https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/328493/170109 combine that with a portable basic TeX Live 2019, which includes a backup default GUI editor (Texworks if ever needed) and your good to go on a usb stick etc.
So quick to make changes just drop this into the preamble,
\usepackage{xcolor}
\pagecolor[rgb]{0.,0.3,0.6}
\color[rgb]{1,1,1}

In TeXstudio (formerly called TexmakerX) you can easily do that as it allows you to define custom keyboard shortcuts.
Under "Options" -> "Configure TeXstudio..." -> "Shortcuts" -> "Editor" -> "Basic Key Mapping", you can redefine the shortcuts for the commands "Next placeholder" and "Previous placeholder" or "Next placeholder or one word right" and "Previous placeholder or one word left".
It's a workaround and it allows you to jump from the one bracket to the other quickly. You can also try to redefine shortcuts for "Move cursor right/left" (which are mapped to the arrow keys originally) or "Move cursor right/left (1 word)" commands , as long as you can get used to it :-)
