Someone please give me the missing link here:

1. I do `git log` which helpfully pipes to `more` where I can use vim-stsyle search to find the commit I'm interested in. 2. I find the relevant commit. 3. Now I want to `git show` that commit.

Currently I double click on the human unreadable commit, copy it, quit `more` to get back to the command line, type `git show`, then paste the commit. Navigate, click-click, shortcut, 'q', type a command, paste. That's six pieces of business.

That seems very wrong and time-consuming.

How do I go gracefully from browsing git log to git show without retyping/pasting the human unreadable commit? Preferably with fewer than seven steps.
