But the *combination* of all three is just evil and stupid. And the choice

Yes, you can. For example, I have
escape ^oo
in my ~/.screenrc, and the control command is C-o, and I can do a real
C-o by doing C-o o.
That said, I rarely use screen, just to launch a long command at work
and get the result from home later.
