Is there any way to control the video playback on YouTube through the special keyboard hotkeys of my laptop (e.g. Fn + F10/F11/F12)?

In case it is relevant, I am using Chromium as my web browser to access and play YouTube videos.

You can install the Chrome extension Streamkeys then configure the hotkeys in the options.

Only drawback: shortcut must contain Ctrl or Alt, and use a letter or a number ; for other keys, some keys are accepted and some not (it doesn't work with F1-F12).

I just did it under Ubuntu 18.04 with Chromium 73.
You may be surprised by a black screen if you press Ctrl+Alt+F12 (finish reading the sentence before trying), you can come back with Ctrl+Alt+F1 or F2

L to fast forward, J to back forward and K to stop/play.

Take a look to my answer here

I've finally found an official post here with Youtube shortcuts, which also seems to work on Youtube Music.
