I'm going through some angular code with the following snippet. What is the part with (change) called? What keywords should I use to Google this? I've also seen (click). What other options are there?

<input type="checkbox" name="annotationtype" (change)="onChange('visualtitle', $event.target.checked)" />
wheeeee

They are called event bindings: https://angular.io/guide/event-binding

If you would use vanilla html then the equivalent of (click) would be:

<button onclick="onClick()">Click me</button>

Please see the attached link to the documentation. It explains it much better than I can :)
