Why when I press bloc num, my linux writes on disk?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

When I enable or disable the Bloc Num, my Archlinux writes something on disk. I can't understand what it saves, probably it's logging, but I can't find nothing in logs. And also, why should it log these actions?
This doesn't happen with caps lock or other key.

You Num Lock to have the numeric keypad write numbers or cursor keys? Or any key on the number block?

You need to edit your question to explain how it is that you know that "something" is being written to disc.

Very simple: the hdd light blinks and a small noise caused by hard disk's head positioning. This happens immediately after I press the num lock key :)

Nothing to do with logs. Some DEs (e.g. GNOME) save the numlock state in a database which is a binary file in GNOME so, obviously, changing the content of such files results in disk writes.
