hi ScionForbai

yes i know auctex, but i do not know Kate, as I mentioned, I compile 
LatEx documents from Emacs and also run R from it (thanks to ESS).

Regarding this that you said

is something that I would not like of Kate, therefore not with much 
encourage to try Kate.

I want something like Emacs (of course including auctex and ess), but 
not Emacs. Something like Tinn-R [http://www.sciviews.org/Tinn-R/] is 
the best solution, as far as I know for it, unfortunately is only 
available for Windows.
