Apparently my pollEvent is making some little pause when I continuously press a Key,

For example if a press and don't release a Key, it's calling the press event, BUT THEN is making a little pause of 0.5sec and only after that starts to call continuously the press Event
So simply put, if I just press a Key and don't release it, it gives me an output like that:

press A

pause

press A

press A

press A

press A

. . .

It's kinda problematic for my game.
my pollEvent loop:

std::map<_KEYS, bool>   Display::checkEvents()

{

        resetEvents();

        while (_Window.pollEvent(_Event))

        {

            if (_Event.type == sf::Event::Closed)

                quit();

            if (_Event.type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) {

                if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Up)) {

                    puts("key up pressed");

                    _Events.at(_KEY_UP) = true;

                }

                if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Down)) {

                    puts("key down pressed");

                    _Events.at(_KEY_DOWN) = true;

                }

                if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Left)) {

                    puts("key left pressed");

                    _Events.at(_KEY_LEFT ) = true;

                }

                if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Right)) {

                    puts("key right pressed");

                    _Events.at(_KEY_RIGHT) = true;

            }

        }

        return (_Events);

}

Any idea why ? or how I can resolve this problem ?

PS: don't mind my Event map, I think it's really far from being related with the pauses

actually I solved it while reading the sfml documentation, for the lazy people, voila :

std::map<_KEYS, bool>   Display::checkEvents()

{

    resetEvents();

    while (_Window.pollEvent(_Event))

    {

        if (_Event.type == sf::Event::Closed)

            quit();

    }

            if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Up)) {

                puts("key up pressed");

                _Events.at(_KEY_UP) = true;

            }

            if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Down)) {

                puts("key down pressed");

                _Events.at(_KEY_DOWN) = true;

            }

            if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Left)) {

                puts("key left pressed");

                _Events.at(_KEY_LEFT ) = true;

            }

            if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Right)) {

                puts("key right pressed");

                _Events.at(_KEY_RIGHT) = true;

    return (_Events);

}

you need to check the real time input and not the sfml pollEvent's Pool, so check your events outside the pollEvent's While

Thank you for the comments anyway :)
