Do not use "onmouseup" without "onkeyup"

[joaooliveira]

Why is this important?

The onmouseup behavior is used to provide a style change on an element when releasing the mouse button. We need to consider that there are users who cannot use a mouse and are using a keyboard instead. In this instance the website should have a corresponding style change onkeyup to provide a similar experience for keyboard users.

How can I resolve this issue?

Add onkeyup when you use onmouseup
