Description
Hi there,
From reading the caffeinate man page, I noticed an interesting feature that would be extremely handy to add. Caffeinate can take an option which specifies the type of sleep to prevent. It could be useful to allow (not mandate) that activating sleep prevention could allow the screen saver while still preventing the system from completely sleeping, for example (option -s to caffeinate).

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked caffeinate man page, especially the -s option, then locate the activation path for sleep prevention in the KeepingYouAwake app. Confirm how an optional mode could be selected and define done as allowing the screen saver while preventing full system sleep when that mode is activated.
