Your users will need to turn that feature on if they want to drive apps via the keyboard; that's the reason the feature exists.

You're looking at an incredible amount of work here.  Just let the existing framework work as-is.  Note that if you're doing anything custom on your side, make sure it works with the setting either way.  A good example to follow is the ClockControl.
