# Mastering the compose box
When composing a message, Zulip lets you view a different conversation from the
one you are composing to. For example, you can start a new topic without
changing your narrow, send a private message about the topic you're viewing, or
look up a related discussion.
In this context, the parts of the message view that are outside of the
conversation you are composing to are faded for clarity.
## Go to conversation
help: Restructure "Mastering the compose box" article. This help center article should include more features rather than just focusing on the "go to conversation" button. We should broaden and restructure this page to cover other advanced features. Refactors the "Go to conversation" section as step-by-step instructions, and adds a `keyboard_tip`. Adds new section "Toggle between Ctrl+Enter and Enter". Deletes the "Enable Enter to send" help center article, and adds its content as a new subheading in this section. Updates existing links accordingly and adds a URL redirect. Documents "Enable Control + Enter to send". Tweaks intro paragraph of "Mastering the compose box". Fixes: #22817.

{!start-composing.md!}
1. If composing a stream message, click the **Go to conversation**
(<i class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-arrow-left-circle"></i>) button in the
compose box.
!!! keyboard_tip ""
For both stream and private messages, use <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>.</kbd> to
go to the conversation you are composing to.
{end_tabs}
## Toggle between <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> and <kbd>Enter</kbd> to send a message
By default, the <kbd>Enter</kbd> key adds a new line to your message,
and <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> sends your message.
This is convenient for typing multi-line messages, which are more common in
Zulip than in most other chat products. However, you can also configure
Zulip so that the <kbd>Enter</kbd> key sends your message.
!!! tip ""
<kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> always adds a new line, regardless
of whether **<kbd>Enter</kbd> to send** is enabled.
### Enable <kbd>Enter</kbd> to send
