jw suggested a "transparency" mode, in which screen just passes all terminal sequences directly to the app, without interpretation.

Here's a snippet from an email conversation; his response to my query:


>> The transparency mode seems like it might have limited usefulness: codes
>> sent directly to the terminal might not be appropriate for the terminal,
>> if TERM had been set to "screen". In what sorts of situations are you
>> envisioning it might be used?
>
> Only when applications misbehave and e.g. ignore TERM.
> Or, when the application wants to do more than screen would allow.
> E.g. ask xterm where the mouse pointer is, or the like.
