Since I live in terminal, there are some of my utilities that are using Ncurses as user interface. Some how unbelievably great finalterm shows bidirectional characters without problems -All other terminals are unable to show them-. But when it comes to Ncurses interfaces, it will destroy all good and happy things about it self! Here I uploaded a video to show the situation: http://youtu.be/QeW-iiV5YhI

Another big problem for me is that there is not any simple text config file to configure all things and behaves I want -Something like we have in my lovely terminal unicode-urxvt. Is there any hope for something like this in future?

All currently existing issues with more complex graphical terminal programs have their root cause in #121. Once xterm emulation is reasonably complete, these issues will go away automatically. Unfortunately, there is no easy fix for this and the poorly documented terminal magic will have to be hand-implemented step by step.

I'm happy to hear bidir support is better in Final Term than in other programs though!

As for the other part of your question: I actually like having separate files for key bindings, themes etc.. I don't think this will be changed in the future, unless there is a lot of demand for it.
