I'm quite sure you need a window and poll/wait events from the window to even  use sf::event.
Maybe there's a way to get a handle to the command line window but that is far beyond my knowledge :D

Events are produced by windows, without a window there's no event. Except mouse / keyboard / joystick / sensors, but there are dedicated classes to access them without a window.

What do you want to do?
