On the 777 in primary control, the control column pitch trim switches change the trim speed datum in the computers. Once within 5 knots of the desired speed a blip will change the datum to the desired speed.
Sounds complicated but it works and is intuitive in use. Also thrust changes do not need to be trimmed, which with 2 large ones under the wings would be necessary continually.
