I'm running a vmware virtual machine (not vmware pro) on which I have given 2 GB RAM from my laptop . The problem is whenever I press caps lock when writing text inside the virtual machine and I get capital letters when I press it again and I write some text I get mixed letters ex. (ExAMPLe instead of example ) I went to my vm settings but I didn't find something about my keyboard functionality . I would appreciate your help with helping me solve this problem . (feel free to ask for more info that I should include about the question )

I had the same problem and fixed it by adding this line to the .vmx file for the Ubuntu VM:
mks.win32.useInjectedMagic=FALSE
Edit 2020-09-17: another user with the same problem had to apply a small adjustment, quoting the "FALSE" value:
mks.win32.useInjectedMagic = "FALSE"
