General / Keyboard input behaves strange

« on: November 14, 2016, 07:25:52 pm »

Can anyone explain why the code below output something like this, when pressing right and left arrow key?
Output:
^[[DLeft
^[[C^[[C^[[CRight
^[[D^[[DLeft
^[[D^[[DLeft
^[[C^[[C^[[CRight

#include <iostream>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    while(1)
    {
        if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Left))
        {
            cout << "Left" << endl;
        }
        else if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Right))
        {
            cout << "Right" << endl;
        }
        sf::sleep(sf::milliseconds(1000));
    }
}
