## <a id="portable"></a>How do I run VSCodium in portable mode?
You can follow the [Portable Mode instructions](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/portable) from the Visual Studio Code website. For Windows and Linux the instructions can be followed as written. For Mac OS, portable mode is enabled by the existence of a specially named folder. For Visual Studio Code that folder name is `code-portable-data`. For VSCodium, that folder name is `vscodium-portable-data`.
So to enable portable mode for VSCodium on Mac OS, follow the instructions outlined in the link above, but create a folder named `vscodium-portable-data` instead of `code-portable-data`.
## <a id="press-and-hold"></a>How do I press and hold a key and have it repeat in VSCodium (Mac)?
This is a common question for Visual Studio Code and the procedure is slightly different in VSCodium because the `defaults` path is different.
