macOS Terminal and iTerm2 are 2 more places Text Replacement does not work.


I assume that either the app needs to make explicit API calls to check for Text Replacement triggers, or it needs to use an Apple framework for the edit box.


There are 3rd party text expansion utilities that filter everything you type and provide this service.


Since you want both macOS and iPad, do a web search for

“cross platform text expansion”
