One idea to archive easy use is to construct an editor from which you 
can start
R-commands. If you have saved frequently used R-expressions in a text file
you can load this file into such an editor,  locate the correct formula 
and eval it.
For this task I am developing an editor that uses the tcltk package of 
R: rwined().

Here is a screen shot:

For experimentation you can download the code (window and linux)  from

   http://www.wiwi.uni-bielefeld.de/~wolf/software/revweb/rtrevive.exe

after installation the package, you have to type:
 
 > library(rtrevive)
 > rwined()
