I tried so many different scripts, and I'm getting disappointed every time. Let alone the larger projects, I can't even get these small scripts to work...

Problem 1: I want to pause the video in VLC after 5 seconds:

HotIfWinActive "ahk_class Qt5QWindowIcon" 
^SPACE:: 
Sleep 5000 
Send "SPACE"

getting this error message: "HotIfWinActive "ahk_class Qt5QWindowIcon", this line does not contain a recognise action.

Problem 2: this hotkey stays activated even when I am not using the specified apps

HotIfWinActive "ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1"
HotIfWinActive "ahk_class Qt691QWindowIcon"

XButton1::Backspace 

Thank you in advance for you help, I am out of my wits.
