How to make Gnome's "Activities" bar always visible?

I just installed Gnome, and when I click on "Activities" a convenient bar shows up from the left, allowing me to switch to other applications. Unfortunately, the bar hides as soon as I choose an application.

How to make this bar always visible?

  6. Toggle "Intelligent autohide" to "Off"

Dash to dock autohide
