There are many keyboard shortcuts available while watching a Youtube video. Are there shortcuts to move forward and backward through a video's chapters by using a keyboard?

There now are: Ctrl+→ and ← on Windows, ⌥ opt+→ and ← on Mac.
You can see a list of all shortcuts on YouTube by clicking on your user avatar in the top right corner and then selecting "Keyboard shortcuts".

1This is the right answer: on a mac: ⌥ + ▶ (OPTION + RIGHT-ARROW) on windows: CTRL + RIGHT-ARROW Sep 2, 2021 at 18:57

There is a chrome extension called Tweaks for YouTube that allows this:
It binds n to next chapter and p to previous chapter
Yes you can :) You just press:
- on a mac:
⌥ + ▶(OPTION + RIGHT-ARROW) - on windows: CTRL + RIGHT-ARROW

I'm probably in a different parallel universe, because those mac keys don't work for me. They just move forward 5 seconds. Yes, the video has chapters. Jul 15, 2021 at 9:46

I get the 5 sec forward when I press RIGHT-ARROW without the option key Jul 15, 2021 at 16:40

I must have somehow made it back to the normal universe, because now it works as you described! Either that, or there was a speck of dust below the option key. Jul 23, 2021 at 10:06

There doesn't appear to be a native keyboard shortcut for chapter navigation as of the writing of this answer. Details:
- The Keyboard shortcuts for YouTube help center article does not list chapter navigation in the list of shortcuts
- Hitting
Shift+?while on youtube.com brings up the list of shortcuts, and chapters are not in that list either.
