I don't know if there are any settings to toggle, but I figured out that if I keep pressing a button on my keyboard it doesn't repeat it and displays only one character! Can this be fixed to go back to the previous repeating behavior?
This is a new "feature" that Apple introduced in Lion. To disable no key repeat, enter
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
in Terminal, and then restart your computer.

ok thanks! But why I don't see the new context menu that was implemented in Lion? I don't know either why apple leave the "repeat time" in the system keyboard preferences – Kreker Sep 1 '11 at 9:02

sorry, i can't understand what you mean by 'new context menu.' could you possibly describe this further? for the 'repeat time,' you can go into system prefs -> keyboard -> and it defaults to the keyboard shortcuts tab. go to the keyboard tab and you'll see more options – Ethan Lee Sep 1 '11 at 19:17

+ arrow & control keys aren't affected; or if any key is pressed together with any control key. (I have Finnish Apple Wireless Keyboard) – Jari Keinänen Sep 1 '11 at 9:27
