I have training curse video that runs on vlc player on second monitor. I do sample exercise in Visual Studio on main monitor while watching video. Sometimes I need to stop video in fast way and for this reason I don't want use mouse. I need to stop video with help of short key combination. How to achieve that?

UPD: I have installed AutoHotKey, but keys are working only when vlc window is active

global shortcut keys work as Beems pointed out, but I needed to do it from AHK because I needed to do other commands too this ahk script works for me (win+numpad 5 to toggle playback)

#Numpad5::

ControlSend,, {Space}, ahk_class QWidget
