It superficially looks like you're running the code from https://github.com/go-vgo/robotgo/blob/master/examples/key/main.go. However, The line number 136 in main.go in the backtrace doesn't make any sense since the example code from the project only has 134 lines. Did you modify the example code? If so you'll need to show us your modifications. Does the example from that project work if you don't modify it?
Note that the SIGSEGV is because the code is trying to use the value 8 as an address. So it isn't a typical null/nil pointer dereference. Possibly you're passing something like a length of some object as an argument which should be the address of some object.
