SFML player movement

I have a problem with implementing player movement using SFML on macos. Player movement works when i use this piece of code:

keyRight = event.type == Event::KeyPressed && event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Right;
    keyLeft = event.type == Event::KeyPressed && event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Left;
    keyUp = event.type == Event::KeyPressed && event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Up;
    keyDown = event.type == Event::KeyPressed && event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Down;

but it won't work if I use this: 

keyRight= sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Right);
    keyLeft= sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Left);
    keyUp= sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Up);
    keyDown= sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Down);

I wanna use the second method because the first one seems to not work with diagonal movement (it just cant register two keys pressed at once.) Where am I making a mistake?

For every mac user with same issue I’ve managed to resolve mine. Since os catalina you have to re-give your compiler (or project) permissions to monitor inputs. More of it here: https://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=26395.0

You can either click it every time you change anything in your build or use event based movement.
