Terminal escape sequences with `follow` about pueue HOT 2 CLOSED

Pueue doesn't modify a process's output in any way.

The behavior you see is because tasks aren't actually run in a terminal environment, meaning that processes that support colorful output usually don't generate terminal escape sequences.

Many commands support a --color=always flag, for instance exa --color=always.
This will result in terminal escape sequences being generated by exa even though it doesn't run in a terminal, which then show up in pueue log as expected

I see, I wonder if there's a way to trick the program into thinking that it's running in a terminal environment. Unfortunately, not all programs have a flag to force colored output.

EDIT: Figured out a workaround using the unbuffer program from expect:

pueue add unbuffer ...
