These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content, without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.

# 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 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 default, and whether
|
|
the <kbd>Esc</kbd> key navigates to the default view. Also, you can
|
|
always reach the default view by using the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>[</kbd>
|
|
shortcut.
|
|
|
|
## Change default view
|
|
|
|
Organization administrators can [set the default view for their
|
|
organization](/help/configure-default-new-user-settings) to
|
|
[**Recent conversations**](/help/recent-conversations) or
|
|
[**All messages**](/help/all-messages).
|
|
**Recent conversations** 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}
|
|
|
|
1. 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
|
|
(<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>[</kbd> or <kbd>Esc</kbd> if enabled).
|
|
|
|
[configure-esc]: /help/configure-default-view#set-whether-esc-navigates-to-the-default-view
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
## Set whether <kbd>Esc</kbd> 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 <kbd>Esc</kbd> key shortcut will ultimately navigate to
|
|
your default 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 default view
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|display-settings}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Advanced**, toggle **Escape key navigates to
|
|
default view**, as desired.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
