I think that this answer is probably good advice for a new rider, but I also think that experience counts for a great deal. I find that a light touch on the gear pedal, while pulling in the clutch, lets me feel when the bike is ready & comfortable to slip into the next gear. Most times this is before the clutch lever touches the grip. I suppose this is at the point that the clutch disengages, which is slightly before the lever reaches the grip.
On the point of "two fingers", I never really thought about it, so today I took special notice, and yes, I realised that I too used two fingers, third & fourth, on both hands to operate the controls.
