With sf::Clock, you can measure the time between two presses. If it is lower than a certain threshold, perform the desired actions.

I would measure the time between two KeyReleased messages for same key instead, to avoid having it accidently triggered by automatic key repeat. Or alternatively measure time between a KeyReleased and the next KeyPressed message if you like to have it activated on key down.
