After the upgrade to Venture this feature doesn't work anymore, any tips?

I already set the "key repeat rate" on off.

If you use WebRoot Anti-Virus there is a conflict.

You can from the Terminal.app enter the command line, copy & paste:

defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true

Verify you do not have full keyboard access turned on    ref:  Enter characters with accent marks on Mac - Apple Support

Verify your Key Repeat rate is not set to OFF

Verify you have no third party anti-virus esp Webroot —if so uninstall all AV and compare your results.

Tom is correct, My settings…

Test while in Safe Mode.

Try this in Terminal:

defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true

then restart.

That's exactly wrong for this problem. Make sure repeat rate is positive and delay is not too long.
