Campag Chorus front/left shifter question

Hi
I'm currently fitting the campag chorus 2008 groupset to a new frame. Have only ever used Shimano before, so apologies if this is a daft question.
The left side / front mech shifter seems to be indexed in the same way as the rear (i.e. you can click it 9 times for it to move through 9 changes). I wasnt planning on having 9 chainrings
though. I take it this is normal? so when you change chainrings you just crack through 4-5 clicks in one push, and then dump the lot in one thumb movement?
I havent noticed this when I've ridden campag.chorus bikes, so i'm guessing that on the road it feels natural?
Cheers
Jon

It allows you to trim the front mech slightly if you get chainrub, depending on which rear gear you're in.Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos0
