Add `escape_navigates_to_default_view` as a bool setting in UserBaseSettings model and implement it as a checkbox that toggles the hotkey implementation of escape to the default view in the advanced user display settings. With /help/ documentation edits from Alya Abbott. Fixes #20043.

# Configure default view
The default view in Zulip is the view you reach after logging in
to the Zulip web app. You can also navigate to the default view via
keyboard shortcuts.
The default views available in Zulip are
[Recent topics](/help/recent-topics) and
[All messages](/help/reading-strategies#all-messages). See
[Reading strategies](/help/reading-strategies) for recommendations
on how to use these views.
You can configure which view is set as your default, and whether
the `Esc` key navigates to the default view. Also, you can always reach

## Change default view
Organization administrators can [set the default view for their
organization](/help/configure-default-new-user-settings) to
[**Recent topics**](/help/recent-topics) or
[**All messages**](/help/reading-strategies#all-messages).
**Recent topics** is especially recommended for high-traffic
organizations, and is configured by default.
You can customize your personal default view regardless of
organization settings:
{start_tabs}
{settings_tab|display-settings}
2. Under **Advanced**, click on the **Default view** dropdown
and select a view.

Zulip has a number of [keyboard shortcuts](/help/keyboard-shortcuts)
