Key-up hotkey fires upon release of key without other modifiers

The word UP may follow the name of a hotkey to cause the hotkey to fire upon release of the key
Some readers infer "release of the key" to mean "release of the hotkey". Documentation should clarify that this means release of the key or, if modified (e.g., with Ctrl, Alt, Shift, or Win), release of only the modified key itself, even if modifiers remain held.
