Master Chief was working with Cortana plugged into his brain, and her whole purpose in existance (as proven in HALO:REACH) was to decode Forerunner tech.
She was, literally, plugged into his brain, and often allowed him to move faster, react faster, and so forth.
With her being plugged into his brain, and her knowledge of forerunner tech, she would know what he was thinking (in this case, looking for which button extends the platform) and could easily direct his finger in the right direction.
Also...just a side thought:
THE FLOOD was basically a novelized version of the game HALO:CE and in the scene where he extends the light bridge....Cortana tells him where to look, again, demonstrating her knowledge of Forerunner tech, and the symbiotic relationship the two of them had.
Yea but Cortana asked him how he knew how to press the button.
"'What did you do?' Cortana asked, her voice alarmed 'I'm detecting an energy spike'
'I...don't know' the spartan admitted. He wasn't sure why he touched the 'button' on the display. He just knew it felt right."
Cortana had no clue what he did.
