The tool disappeared out of visual range - any way to zoom into it?

Ah apologies in advance because Zbrush is giving me a realllly hard time with what I think is purely unnecessarily bad UI, I might sound annoyed - well, I am.

So the issue I encountered now is - ha! the tool I was working on has disappeared from the face of the working space. Gone. Nada. However, I had definitely NOT deleted it, I was simply trying to reposition my view port by doing some alt+right click toggling. Nothing weird or special.

But all of a sudden, my view moved like something dashed straight into it and knocked it off - everything is gone and out of my visual (see attached image - subtool shows I have the tools for sure, but in the workspace it’s no where to be seen)

However much I zoom out or look all over in all directions, funny! Not a smidge of it is seen. Is there a way to reposition my camera (whatever knocked into it so suddenly - I wish ZBrush would stop doing operations I hadn’t asked for…) and focus on the tool? Or go back to coordinates 0,0,0 because that’s where my tool is centered.

Press “F” = Frame Mesh

Also Maxon (Pixologic) ZClassroom covers all the features but also has project based examples so you can see how it’s used to create various sculpts.
