I would look for an editor with scripting capabilities in which case sending the selection/current line to a terminal and running latex on the current file are really easy. Then if you want special features such as snippets, auto-completion and all you should probably keep a dedicated editor. I am using TextMate on OS X currently and find it very powerful in combination with a plain old terminal[1]. An "equivalent" of TextMate on Linux could be Scribes: http://scribes.sourceforge.net/ I don't know wether it has some functions designed explicitly for R or LaTeX but it is extensible and chances are that people already wrote scripts for you to use. I would be interested in knowing what you find, since I essentially have the same needs and stayed on OS X in great part because of TextMate. I would be happy to find a linux replacement and ditch my half-bitten apple for a penguin.
