I have several clips (cuts) inside the multitrack and I would like to navigate to the beginning (end) of each clip easily, but I didn't find anything like that.
Any idea?
That's what the Alt+Right and Alt+Left keys are for, although it will stop at every clip junction in your session. And ideally those are the keys at the bottom of the keyboard, not the ones on the numeric pad, although I think those will work too. I have no idea what the keystrokes for this are on a Mac, I'm afraid, but if you open the Keyboard Shortcuts, you are looking for Transport>Move Playhead to Next, and Previous.

Not exactly but:
(Windows shortcut first, then Mac OS)
Move current-time indicator to the previous marker, clip, or selection edge | Ctrl+Left Arrow | Command+Left Arrow |
Move current-time indicator to next marker, clip, or selection edge | Ctrl+Right Arrow | Command+Right Arrow |
from this page.

Ctrl+Left/Right Arrow won't work

Right, that doc seems wrong. On my Mac, with the default shortcuts loaded, it's Option+arrow, not Command. And Option+Command+Arrow navigates to markers.
Huh!

This is on a PC...
It's not perfect, but a combination of the . (period) key to move between clips on a track, and Alt-Right and Alt-Left to hop between the start and end of them (in both directions), will do this. The 'imperfection', if you like, is that Alt-Right and Alt-Left will stop at each junction for all clips, although it's generally very quick to hop through them.
It's worth investigating the Keyboard shortcuts - there are a heck of a lot of options in there!

This will only select the clip, not move the cursor to the start or end of a clip.
