With "Ctrl-a a" you can send a single Ctrl-a to the terminal.

My text terminal is always XTerm+Screen so I use Screen a lot. I haven't
remapped the command key because I think "Ctrl+a a" is OK for running
beginning-of-line. But I would probably use:
escape ^zz
in my ~/.screenrc. In Vim and many text terminal applications Ctrl-z is
suspend key. I think it's not a big loss if you now use Ctrl-z for
Screen command and "Ctrl-z z" for suspend.
