Description

Description: Allow me to filter which command outputs I want to display. Still run all tasks.

Use case: I want to debug a particular task of the set of tasks I run with concurrently and focus on its outputs. At the moment, I solve this by calling npm run dev | grep name-of-task. This works but potentially includes false positives. Additionally, concurrently will not color the task name because it is not directly attached to the terminal.

Research direction

Start by tracing how concurrently selects and displays output for its running tasks; the issue does not name a source file, test, or entry point. The change is done when all tasks still run, selected command output can be displayed without broad grep matches, and task names remain colored in the terminal.
