Questions:
What key combination places the window with focus into another workspace?
A. <shift><ctrl><alt><left>|<right>|<up>|<down>
What key combination or other method moves it back into the primary workspace?
A. Same as above.
Why did hiding all windows empty the alternate workspace?
A. It did not. The windows therein were all minimized and had to be restored from the bottom menu bar of the applicable workspace.
How do I get my vim instance back from wherever it is gone?
A. Same as above.
Alternatively, you can click and drag with your mouse any window between workspaces.
Live and learn; with pain, suffering, and general discomfort, but learn nonetheless.
