Have you ever used the VMWare console over a WAN with latency and it enters multiple key strokes into the console and makes using the console super annoying! It makes me HATE VMWare and want to smash it into 10000 pieces with a baseball bat.
Well the answer is to add a line to your VMs VMX file to allow it to be 'laggier'. For example the following will give you 2 second between key strokes:
- keyboard.typematicMinDelay = "2000000"
