UZBL - browser - fi command not working

I have installed 1:0.9.0-1 version of uzbl-browser yesterday, but I am having problems with the fi command.

fi        = go to the first input field and enter insert mode

It does not work at all. no error, output shown. Not action done.

I followed this https://www.uzbl.org/wiki/go-input,
and change those files
but with no success. Same behaviour. the following error is logged in terminal:

socat [3090] E connect(5, AF=1, "<anon>", 2): invalid argument.

NOTE: test page is google.com

Thanks for any help!!
Cant really browse without mouse without this option!!!

Here is a list of all the keybindings: https://www.uzbl.org/keybindings.php

I don't know if they are out of date or not, I don't use Uzbl myself. Is the "fl" option working?

Yes, fl works great!

Re: UZBL - browser - fi command not working

I have the same problem. "fi" doesn't work. I've tested it a bit and apparently go_input.sh is called properly but go_input.js is not.

On my system (uzbl 1:0.9.1-2) go_input.sh and go_input.js are different than mentioned here: https://www.uzbl.org/wiki/go-input

This is "go_input.sh"

#!/bin/sh

. "$UZBL_UTIL_DIR/uzbl-util.sh"

case "$( uzbl_control "js page file uzbl.go_input()\n" )" in
*XXXFORM_ACTIVEXXX*)
    uzbl_control "event KEYCMD_CLEAR\n"
    ;;
esac

And apparently the line with uzbl.go_input() doesn't call javascript at all. Any ideas?

------------------
BTW. I used to be a long time Opera user. Unfortunately Opera was "sold" to Google. I've just installed uzbl and I'm more than happy about it :) I strongly recommend this browser to all "keyboard" users.

Ok. I found it. Solved in upstream:
