Living with Terminal.app
Ok. My Terminal.app escapade has a bit gone out of hand so I decided to make a new post with all settings I changed.
Open your Terminal.app preferences and set it to xterm (xterm-color doesn't work very well in most places).
Open the window settings and delete all Settings for page up / down, home, end and delete (with all modifier variations).
Now set it up like this:
To get a nice behaviour on the shell now edit your ~/.inputrc like this:
At last to get Shift+Page working with screen add the following lines to your ~/.screenrc:
I learned a lot from this article but it was a bit imprecise concerning to the page up / down buttons and didn't provide the screenrc options. That's why I decided to make a new post.
Update:
To remove the scrollbar while not losing the buffer in your Terminal.app edit the following lines in your .term or .plist file:

Now set it up like this:
Home: \033[~1
End: \033[~4
Shift + Home: scroll to start of buffer
Shift + End: scroll to end of buffer
Delete: \033[~3
Page Up: \033[~5
Page Down: \033[~6
Shift + Page Up: scroll to previous page in buffer
Shift + Page Down: scroll to next page in buffer
To get a nice behaviour on the shell now edit your ~/.inputrc like this:
# Be 8 bit clean.
set input-meta on
set output-meta on
set convert-meta off
# allow the use of the Home/End keys
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line
# allow the use of the Delete/Insert keys
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[2~": quoted-insert
# mappings for "page up" and "page down"
# to step to the beginning/end of the history
"\e[5~": beginning-of-history
"\e[6~": end-of-history
At last to get Shift+Page working with screen add the following lines to your ~/.screenrc:
termcapinfo xterm ti@:te@
defscrollback 1 #Will be handled localy

@ 16.05.2008 08:07 CESTAnybody has an idea how to achieve this:
1. Press SOME_KEYS and result would be delete whole {world, string} instead of character by character
2. Jump {word, string} instead of character by character

Probably this can help you: http://fdiv.net/2007/05/12/keybindings-in-macosx-terminal-app/ (I managed to map those keys correctly but have no clue how I did that ;))
@synack
1. Is possible by pressing ⌃U (or ⌃W for single words)
2. Is possible by pressing ⎋f or ⎋b
