Delete button not repeatedly deleting

When I hold down my delete key it does not work. It used to delete continuously now nothing happens, I have to repeatedly push the delete button to delete multiple characters.

Check System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab > Delay Until Repeat.

Adjust the slider to a shorter delay time.
