unclear notation

Hi,

What is the meaning of a red triangle on top of any visual element (e.g., class, entity)?

Thanks, Ohad

It's a bookmark. Can only be used for diagram objects. Set/unset via ctrl-blank.

Isn't that common space=blank?

At least no one asked where the Any key is...   ;D

In my evening programming class I had a student who, by day, was a cashier.  When I found her struggling with her programming assignemnt I inquired into her problem.  She said she could not find the "Total" key!

Well, yes the space bar is blank on the keyboard - point taken - however in my experience keyboard shortcuts  usually use something like ctrl+space.

Anyway, I'm off to continue my search for the click key...

You could always write "click" on your desk top ...

Don't you mean "right click"?
