>I have a database that has a lot of repetitive data in fields, though nothing that could be set as a default. I am thinking about adding some features to enhance data entry. Is there anyway to have a keystroke that repeats the value from the last record's field value?

If you're using forms, you can add a Clone button. Say, you user seats on the particular record and he/she wants to clone it: (I give you the code from my Clone button): (lblClone is a label, which shows: "This record is cloned" message, I make it back invisible in Save/Revert):
