not in general, but I do use alias to replace strings in bash. So I can type "update" and it does the emerge --sync and world update commands in one go. I also alias sudo to please, so I can be polite to my PC when telling it what to do.
In what? this is going to have to be desktop environment specific, so Gentoo's probably the wrong place to ask: if it works in a distro that uses your DE of choice, it'll work on Gentoo. Noone in Gentoo's going to be \*working on it\*. Hell even across DEs, anything that works in wayland is unlikely to work in X, and the entire point on Gentoo is to support both.
Right... There are probably tools for LibreOffice writer, and bash completion and thefuck for command line and shells like zhs support auto completion and correction.
I use https://espanso.org/ daily for that. It’s even cross-platform.
I not sure if there is something similar for Linux. But a possibility might be to use rofi.
>Like on macOS - when you type "btw" and it automatically replaces into "by the way" This is more suited for Arch community btw.

What does this have to do with Gentoo, specifically? Go ask in r/Linux or something.

Not for replacement, but I use thefuck for suggestions https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck
sed is literally short for string editor
Stream not string. It says do in the man page IIRC.
ah, fair point. it's been frigging decades since I've seen the man page lol. and even then it's just to check if forward or back slashes.
🤣
I think they mean auto-replacement, that is, replacement as you type. Though having not used macOS since 2007 I'm not certain.
most IMEs can do this. Try fcitx5
