walk-input.js walks only input fields, not link
     --------------------
     TAB:            <a>, <input>, <textarea>, <button>,...
     walk-input.js:  <input>, <textarea>
     --------------------

So, it is useful when we want to focus to the search fields immediately
in some page like twitter.com which has some input fields.

If the page has only one input field, we can use "gi",
but "gi" is not good at for the multiple fields.
