How do these work? Do you push the thumb shifter to downshift (up the cassette or freewheel) and then push the button for upshifts (down the cassette or freewheel)? I guess the button will do one cog at a time, but can you push the thumb shifter all the way from one end to the other at once, or does it ratchet, allowing just one or two cogs at a time?
The thumb button shifts down, ie go to a bigger cog.

The finger button shifts up, ie go to a smaller cog.

Usually the thumb button can downshift up to two gears in a full range of motion.
