I haven't had it happen to me recently, but I also haven't been using VmWare recently. I have switched to using VirtualBox for projects I am working on. I don't plan on spending time debugging it further since no one else appears to have the problem.

I then go into the "System Settings", "Keyboard", and see that "Key presses repeat when key is held down" is checked. If I un-check and then re- check it then repeated keystrokes works again. I am not sure how to cause this, but on forums others have suggested it might be VmWare, and I do use vmplayer.
