Disabling the delay on holding down a key (HELP)

[Dreken]

I'm using SFML 2.0-rc, Windows 7, Visual Studio 2010.

Here's my snippet of code:

if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::W))
{      
new_ypos = old_ypos - movespeed;
}

This sits inside the

while (window.pollEvent(event))

.

So, basically when I hold W, my character moves forward for a second, pauses for about 1 second, then W holds down. I know this is the delay in the operating system. The same thing happens when you hold a key on a text document.

Is there any way to get rid of this so that I don't have to wait for that 1 second delay before the character moves continuously, without changing the OS settings? I know where the OS option is, but I don't want to do this if I want to send the game to other people.

So does SFML have anything, or C++?

Don't put it inside the event handling loop (while(window.pollEvent(event))), it doesn't make any sense to put it there, since it's not an event, but a 'direct' device access.

Thanks, worked!
