Dear Daniel,

One standard answer is that this is readily available with (X)Emacs + ESS. 
Edit, make changes, and then Eval-function (or region, or line, or buffer), 
which places that in your running R.

If (X)Emacs does not suit you, I think a variety of editors have the features 
you ask for. Take a look at:

Best,

R.
