In ESS (GNU Emacs + ESS; even XEmacs + ESS), if you are editing
a *.Rnw or *.Snw i.e. an Sweave source file,

you get an Emacs menu called "Noweb"
     (that's what the "nw" in "Rnw" stands for !)
and if you open that, 
the very last line of this 'Noweb' menu says
 "Sweaving, Tangling, ...   >"   i.e., is a sub-menu

and that has entries
     "Sweave"
     "Tangle"
     "LaTeX"
     "PDF(LaTeX)"
     "PS (dvips)"
     "Insert Sexpr"

each with the key shortcut that you can use
  {'M-n s',  the one for Sweave, is the one I use most often}


Is that not sufficient?
