Design question ... Remote control and keyboard

Question

Hey i am building a system that should support remote control input and keyboard input
the system is a addons based any user could build any addon he wishes
i have now two main input events types
KeyEventand
RemoteControlEventi wish to use only one type of event
i am thinking of 2 options.
1) Map
RemteControlEventto
KeyEventif this why is the best what happens i a situation that i mapped J key to the RECORD button
how a specific addon should know that a RECORD operation is pressed or it's just a J button
2) Write a new events that contains
KeyEventactions and
RemteControlEventactions
thanks allot

thanks for your replay
i am sharing my thoughts with you ,cause i relay want to do it the best way.
when i mention remote control i meant using a TV/VCR/MCE Remote Control.
(i am usingJLIRC ( LIRC ) )
and i have decided .
i will listen to all keyboard event using "dispatchKeyEvent"
and will map Remote control keys to keyboard keys
here is another question to make sure i understand fully .
the application that i am writing is an add-on based
every programmer that will like to create an add-on
will extend the "Screen" object for is main panel (Screen exnteds JPanel)
so i was thinking when dispatchKeyEvent called i should call dispatchKeyEvent in the current displayed screen
(if the screen dispatchKeyEvent returns false.
the main dispatchKeyEvent should continue.
case true the main dispatchKeyEvent will return true)
then in the screen implementation the user can ask if this key is an Spacial Key
if yes he can get the spacial key attached to this keyboard key
i just wrote an example of how it's suppose to be
public MP3PLayer implemants Screen {
  public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent e){
    boolean isSpeacial = RemoteComtrolKey.getInstance().isSpeacialKey(e.getKeyCode);
    if(isSpeacial){
        int mappedKey = RemoteComtrolKey.getInstance().getSpeacialKey(e.getKeycode());
        if(mappedKey  == RemoteComtrolKey.REC){
          //do the record
           return true;
    return false;
