Corny keg question

I'm new to brewing and have so far successfully made 3 different brews
from kits purchased at my local brew shop (5gal).

The last 2 batches have been bottled according to the directions
supplied with the kits, but I'd like to control the carbonation better
so I purchased a corny keg and associated extras. My current batch
has been sitting in the secondary for ~3 wks now and is ready to be
bottled/kegged. Do I still use the priming sugar before putting it in
the keg, and wait for a wk or two before drinking, do I skip the
priming sugar, or should I have added the extra sugar during primary?
I imagine that adding the little bit of sugar during the bottling step
increases the alcohol concentration a bit, so I don't really want to
mess up the intended flavor by skipping it.

What do you guys usually do when you're using a kit and know that
you'll be kegging at the end?


Thanks for your help.
