I haven't bought or read through the book, but it seems likely that those numbers represent the position of those values within their corresponding enum. KeyPressed is equal to 5 in enum sf::Event::EventType (start counting from 0), and F5 is likely equal to 89 in
enum sf::Keyboard::Key

This is it!  Thank you so much.

I just bought the book, and have a question regarding items in Chapter 4:

The keys.cfg file uses key numerical values for key bindings, like:

Fullscreen_toggle 5:89

...where KeyDown is represented by 5, and the F5 key by the number 89.

Where do the key number values come from?  I can't for the life of me find how the various keys on the keyboard are tied to a numerical value in SFML.

Thanks for your help.
