you can still use it. just add another 'a' -> 'C-a a' under screen is
the same as 'C-a' in shell.  same with nested screens, the deeper in
screens, the more keys need to press.  e.g. if you have two screens, the
first use 'C-a' as escape and the second one (started from the first)
uses 'C-a a', thus 'jump to the beginning of the line' will be 'C-a a a'
