fail

PROTIP: cp /usr/share/uzbl/examples/config/uzbl/config ~/.config/uzbl/

I am a new user of uzbl and had this same problem before I read the included README with the package telling me that no default configuration file was created or included.

Copying over the config file in /usr/share/uzbl/examples/config/uzbl/config to ~/.config/uzbl/config worked perfectly.

Maybe the solution here is having a "First run" page show up when the configuration file doesn't exist detailing how to copy over or where to find the example configuration file on your system.

1) this is documented in both the readme and the faq. (basically you're not in insert mode)
2) lazzareth: there is no clean way to "know" when to show the page (the user may not want to use a config file, for example)
