How to use Action with an Accelerator without assigning Action to a Button

I have an Action

I have set an Accelerator key to it.

If I assign the Action to a MenuItem or other Button in my GUI all is well

However I want the Accelerator to fire the Action when it isn't assigned to the button

How do I do this, because it doesn't work?

Some GUI component has to listen for this keyboard event. Then you could call the actionPerformed manually.

Use Key Bindings to invoke the Action directly:
