Ok, I found the unified diff for the whole commit. Still requires clicking.
Gitk shows it right away in a pane. Having the mouse cursor over it I can
scroll with the wheel. No clicks needed. Keyboard Up/Down changes the
selected commit.

It was in the main popup menu of the Explorer integration.

Ok, can be.
I have done "git cherry-pick c28cc988ec" or similar on a console. No
problems so far.
I still feel uncomfortable with external branch management and
synchronization. I believe a GUI tool could help with that.
My main development platform is Linux where TortoiseGit is not available.
I may look at some other GUI tools later.
However I remember even the console commands suggested the right syntax for
me when I experimented with external branches. I just copied it and things
worked.
