'How to unhide/show the 'Activity Bar' on Visual Studio Code?

I accidentally hid the Activity Bar of VS Code. How can I make it visible again?

I checked the 'View' menu bar options but couldn't find an option for the task. Can someone guide me?

You can make a shortcut to hide and unhide the activity bar.

Open the Command Pallete (Ctrl + Shift + P on Windows/Linux, CMD + Shift + P on macOS) and then type Keyboard Shortcuts
Click on Toggle Activity Bar Visibility, and choose your shortcut using keyboard!

After doing this, you can now use your shortcut key.

I know of 3 ways to show/hide it.

View -> Appearance -> Show Activity Bar
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P on Windows/Linux, CMD + Shift + P on macOS) -> Toggle Activity Bar
settings.json -> "workbench.activityBar.visible": false

I also made a Youtube tutorial here demonstrating all three ways.

My Bad!! The option is available within 'View' navigation bar.

Goto 'View' navigation bar. Then goto 'Appearance' option, select 'Show Activity Bar'

Solution 5:^[5]

There is a command for this called View: Toggle Activity Bar Visibility that you can use from the command pallet(F1)

Solution 6:^[6]

Ctrl + Shift + P on Windows/Linux, CMD + Shift + P on macOS
Type "view: Toggle Activity Bar Visibility" (Intellisense should come in handy).
Enter

Voila!!
