How do I get keyboard input in golang?

So I'm very new to Golang, and I've been starting some little projects to improve. Currently I am trying to make a nice little program which adds keybinds, for example, when I hit ctrl + h, I want it to shortcut and open up vscode. I'm not having any issue opening up vscode with shell and the 'code' command, but I'm having trouble taking keyboard input. I found this library: https://github.com/mattn/go-tty to get keyboard input, but it only works if the console has focus. How do I get keyboard input when the application does not have focus? Is this even possible?
