so you could open screen, run your app, deattach screen, and it would
still listen to your keyboard shortcuts?

in that case, if you want to restrict yourself to bash, I would suggest
letting your WM or something like xbindkeys take care of the keyboard
shortcuts, and just call your script with different arguments in the
background, when you use different keyboard shortcuts.
