As Tyler has already suggested, you can rebind commands to shorter keys;
here is one that I have:


(defun my-ess-hook ()
  "Add my keybindings to ESS mode."
  (local-set-key (kbd "C-j") 'ess-eval-line-and-step)
  )

(add-hook 'ess-mode-hook 'my-ess-hook)

So then C-j gets you to move down line by line.
