The web-specific KeyboardListener was creating an unnecessary focus node that required users to press Tab one extra time to reach the editor. This change improves keyboard navigation efficiency by removing the workaround that is no longer needed.
Removes unnecessary variable assignment. Simplifies the conditional return statement within the editor widget for improved readability and efficiency.

Description
This PR removes the web-specific
KeyboardListenerthat was causing inefficient Tab navigation focus on Flutter Web.Current behavior: On Flutter Web, users need an extra Tab press to reach the Quill editor because a
KeyboardListenerwith aFocusNodecreates an additional focus stop in the tab order, making keyboard navigation inefficient.New behavior: Tab navigation works efficiently across all platforms, allowing users to focus the editor directly without unnecessary extra tab stops.
Motivation: The original
KeyboardListenerwas added as a workaround for issue #304 to prevent key event interference with parent widgets likeSingleChildScrollView. However, the original issue could not be reproduced in current Flutter/Quill versions, while the workaround was creating an unnecessary focus traversal step. This change prioritizes efficient keyboard navigation and code simplification.Alternative solution: If the original issue #304 resurfaces, an alternative approach would be to add
skipTraversal: trueto theFocusNodeinstead of removing the entireKeyboardListener.Type of Change
