I think it's impossible. X11 clients can see keydown and keyup events
for the modifier key(s) and the non-mod key separately. Screen just
sees a single event (a keydownup, essentially) of the entire
chord.
For example if you press Control_L and Alt_L, nothing is
sent to screen until you also press (say) f -- at which point Screen
sees the two chords ^[ ^F.
