It would be much better if we can move these tasks to a sidebar program which shows these statuses:
Is the task completed?
If not, how's the progress? What does it currently doing?
If completed, how's the result? Does it succeed?
Some implementation details:
Tasks are spawned in scd, not shell.
Use regex to exact status information from tasks' output.
If scd is consistent with the shell in terms of color, underline, etc. when displaying commands, it will improve readability. This can be achieved by using fish_indent --ansi in fish. However, since tui-rs does not support pre-rendered text, it needs some hacks. fdehau/tui-rs#88
