This is what I do in linux:
Use Kate, which allows for multiple tabbed files to be open.
Have one file be "zini.ini" which calls out the Input File and scene settings to
be used.
Keep one Konsole open which has a previous command of "povray zini.ini" in it.
When I want to render, I go to the Konsole, hit up arrow and enter. (That's one
extra mouse click to switch to Konsole and two keystrokes, just a little bit
less convenient than POV-Ray for Windows' "Render" button.)
