If you are getting the error `Writing login information to the keychain failed with error 'The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files'.`, you need to install the package `gnome-keyring`.
## <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.
You can follow the [Portable Mode instructions](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/portable) from the Visual Studio Code website.
- **Windows** / **Linux** : the instructions can be followed as written.
- **macOS** : 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 `codium-portable-data`. So to enable portable mode for VSCodium on Mac OS, follow the instructions outlined in the [link above](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/portable), but create a folder named `codium-portable-data` instead of `code-portable-data`.
## <a id="file-manager"></a>How do I fix the default file manager (Linux)?
In some case, VSCodium becomes the file manager used to open directories (instead of apps like Dolphin or Nautilus).<br />
It's due to that no application was defined as the default file manager and so the system is using the latest capable application.
To set the default app, create the file `~/.config/mimeapps.list` with the content like:
```
[Default Applications]
inode/directory=org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop;
```
You can find your regular file manager with the command:
```
> grep directory /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
inode/directory=codium.desktop;org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop;
```
## <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.
