The keys stay on the hardware wallet, the transaction is just sending a message that was signed using the keys stored on the wallet. It's the same general flow whether it's a partially signed Bitcoin transaction from a cold card transferred via micro SD to a computer or a Ledger or trezor which connects directly to the computer..

I don't understand why you need to access the keys. At all.

You can do this with an offline computer running those bip39 webpages saved locally. Or you can poke around GitHub and find Python scripts that also do this offline.

The address is our generated with the private key and the wallets hd path, see walletsrecovery.org

This is a good question to put on bitcoin.stackexchange.com. That's where I go with hard questions.

Have you read the Bitcoin white paper as well? It might answer some of your questions

Nope. I have not read the whole thing. I'm not really into BTC much. It's useful and powerful, but, it's so little of my life I just don't really care that much when I have too many other things to turn my attention to!
