I’m using SFML, and I want to make a sprite rotate when the left or right arrow keys are pressed. I don’t want to use while loops, and I had another version of this that worked, but it moved like you were holding a key in a google doc, it rotates once, pauses, then rotates normally.

if (Keyboard::isKeyPressed(Keyboard::Left)) {
        rotateLeft = true;
}
if (Keyboard::isKeyPressed(Keyboard::Right)) {
        rotateRight = true;
}
if (Event::KeyReleased && event.key.code == Keyboard::Left) {
    rotateLeft = false;
}
if (Event::KeyReleased && event.key.code == Keyboard::Right) {
    rotateRight = false;
}

if (rotateLeft) {
    player.rotate(-playerSpeed);
} 
if (rotateRight) {
    player.rotate(playerSpeed);
}

I’ve tried nesting the loops to seperate the conditions, like this:

//Something like this i think
if (Keyboard::KeyPressed) {
       if (event.key.code == Keyboard::Left) {
               rotateLeft = true;
       }
       if (event.key.code == Keyboard::Right) {
           rotateRight = true;
       }
}
if (Keyboard::KeyReleased) {
       if (event.key.code == Keyboard::Left) {
           rotateLeft = false;
       }
       if (event.key.code == Keyboard::Right) {
           rotateRight = false;
       }
}
//Something like that i think

As stated earlier, I expect the sprite to rotate when the left or right arrow keys are pressed. But, it only happens if I press another key at the same time, it could even be another one of the arrow keys.
