I do (custom-set-variables '(ess-eval-visibly-p 'nowait))

it is a local var in the remote-R buffer.

Please note that I reworked it recently.

It is up to you.

The problem is that gnus screen requires terminal emulation.
It might be that tmux does not (very briefly: gnu screen is no longer
developed; it has been superseded for new users by tmux; I only use
screen because I am used to it and it works for me, but if you a new to
this, you should be using tmux instead).
If you can get tmux working better than screen, I think there is no
reason to support screen because we are really using it "under the
hood", they user should not even be aware of it.

yes, I see control chars every now and then, e.g.:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
> str(pkd.cut)
Classes ?data.table? and 'data.frame':^[[4C19819661 obs. of  11 variables:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
the "^[" stands for the escape character.
