OmniFocus 4 compatibility: remove OF2-specific Quick Entry tree navigation and call activate unconditionally so the Quick Entry window is always brought to the front instead of opening hidden behind MailMate.

Fixes an issue I struggled with, using OF4. Full disclosure: the creation of this PR relied heavily on Claude Code, but saw it work (on my machine). |

Problem
When triggering "Add..." or "Add With Summary..." from MailMate, OmniFocus's Quick Entry window opens but stays hidden behind MailMate — so the command appears to do nothing.
The script only called
activatewhen OmniFocus was not already running. In the normal case (OmniFocus already open), Quick Entry silently opened in the background.A secondary issue: the
elsebranch contained OF2-specific Quick Entry tree navigation (set note expanded of tree, System Events keystrokes) that throws silent errors on OmniFocus 3/4, and whose error dialog is also hidden behind MailMate.Fix
