No, there are other tools as well, e.g. ekeyword and ebuild-mode.

As matter of fact, ebuild-mode accepts any ASCII whitespace characters
(horizontal tab, new line, vertical tab, form feed, carriage return,
and space) in KEYWORDS, but will change the line to its canonical format
whenever a keyword is updated. That is, in correct order and with single
spaces as separators.

BTW, do package managers allow any Unicode whitespace (like "​" ZERO
WIDTH SPACE or " " OGHAM SPACE MARK) in places where PMS says
"whitespace"?
