# Configure home view
|
|
|
|
The home view in Zulip is the view you reach after logging in
|
|
to the Zulip web app. You can also navigate to the home view via
|
|
keyboard shortcuts.
|
|
|
|
The home views available in Zulip are
|
|
[**Inbox**](/help/inbox),
|
|
[Recent conversations](/help/recent-conversations), and
|
|
[All messages](/help/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 home view, and whether
|
|
the <kbd>Esc</kbd> key navigates to the home view. Also, you can
|
|
always reach the home view by using the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>[</kbd>
|
|
shortcut.
|
|
|
|
## Change home view
|
|
|
|
Organization administrators can [configure the home view for their
|
|
organization](/help/configure-default-new-user-settings) to
|
|
[**Inbox**](/help/inbox),
|
|
[**Recent conversations**](/help/recent-conversations), or
|
|
[**All messages**](/help/all-messages).
|
|
|
|
- The **Inbox** view works best if you regularly clear all unread messages in
|
|
streams you follow.
|
|
|
|
- **Recent conversations** works well for getting an overview of recent activity.
|
|
|
|
- **All messages** is convenient for low-traffic organizations, or for skimming
|
|
messages as they come in.
|
|
|
|
You can customize your personal home view regardless of
|
|
organization settings:
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|preferences}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Advanced**, click on the **Home 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 home view
|
|
(<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>[</kbd> or <kbd>Esc</kbd> if enabled).
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
You can also hover over your desired home view in the left sidebar, and
|
|
choose the option to **make it your home view** in the **ellipsis**
|
|
(<i class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-more-vertical"></i>) menu.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
## Configure whether <kbd>Esc</kbd> navigates to the home view
|
|
|
|
Zulip has a number of [keyboard shortcuts](/help/keyboard-shortcuts)
|
|
designed to enhance the user experience in the app.
|
|
|
|
By default, the <kbd>Esc</kbd> key shortcut will ultimately navigate to
|
|
your home view. You can disable this key binding if you would prefer.
|
|
This will not disable other <kbd>Esc</kbd> key shortcuts used in Zulip,
|
|
and will not affect the behavior of the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>[</kbd>
|
|
shortcut.
|
|
|
|
### Toggle whether <kbd>Esc</kbd> navigates to the home view
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|preferences}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Advanced**, toggle **Escape key navigates to
|
|
home view**, as desired.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
