Yeah, keyboard handling is not perfect, there's a task in the tracker for this issue. It will be improved in SFML 2.

[Laurent]

do you have an idea how this will last long?

No

I can see if a quick fix is possible. But as far as I remember, these 3 keys are supposed to work fine on Windows and Linux.

If you want someone to look at your code, first read this

You should use constants from the sf::Keyboard::Key enum, instead of hard-coded numeric values. Do this in your post too: I don't know which keys 43 and 37 are

About Windows:

- Left Alt has a special meaning: it steals focus from the application (I never remember what it does then); it has already been discussed, there is a simple workaround (by adding code to SFML), and it might officially be integrated to SFML in the future

- Right-Alt (Alt Gr) has a special meaning too: it is a shortcut for Alt + Ctrl; don't ask me why, this is how things are defined on Windows
