# 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
|
|
the default view by using the `Ctrl` + `[` shortcut.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
1. To see your changes in action, open a new Zulip tab, or use a keyboard
|
|
shortcut twice to exit the settings and navigate to your default view
|
|
(`Ctrl` + `[` or `Esc` if enabled).
|
|
|
|
[configure-esc]: /help/configure-default-view#set-whether-esc-navigates-to-the-default-view
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
## Set whether `Esc` navigates to the default view
|
|
|
|
Zulip has a number of [keyboard shortcuts](/help/keyboard-shortcuts)
|
|
designed to enhance the user experience in the app.
|
|
|
|
By default, the `Esc` key shortcut will ultimately navigate to your
|
|
default view. You can disable this key binding if you would prefer.
|
|
This will not disable other `Esc` key shortcuts used in Zulip,
|
|
and will not affect the behavior of the `Ctrl` + `[` shortcut.
|
|
|
|
### Toggle whether `Esc` navigates to the default view
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|display-settings}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Advanced**, toggle **Escape key navigates to
|
|
default view**, as desired.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
