Mechanics
1. If you want to catch ledge but you dont want to climb onto it hold space (mouse and keyboard) or a (controller) (this is actualy in tips during tutorial but i dont think a lot of people notice)

2. To grab the ledge after falling walk of the ledge with shift pressed (mouse and keyboard) or slightly tilt your joystick insted of tilting it all the way (controller) (this is actualy in tips during tutorial but i dont think a lot of people notice)

3. Only some guards can relit torches

4. Clones time only depledes when you are controlling the clone and stops depleding when you switch to controlling styx

5. If you couse guards to draw weapons they will no longer folow there normal walk path and will stop eating from fruit baskets and drinking from water bags

6. If roabies have the orange alert level they can find you from a closer distance

7. Roabies are unable to locate you if you are hanging from a ledge even if you perform kill from ledge

8. Some Guards stand still for ever and start there walking path only after they get orange alert level but only if they dont draw weapons

9. If you repeat mission you start it with items you had in hideout but when you finish repeating mission you have items you had in hideout before starting mission so you cant gain more items by repeaing missions

10. When you finish repeating mission your items in hideout that you can pick up from table between missions do not replenish

11. In the tutorial it is said that styx's tatoo will glow orange when you are in darkness but if you are controlling a clone then you should look at clones back, when your clone is in the darkness then his veins on his back will start to glow orange

12. Guards can in some places jump down onto platforms and climb up ledges

13. If you activate amber ability with amber recovery and use another amber ability before recovering amber from the first one then the amber recovery of the first amber ability will vanish and you will not recive your amber back

14. You can hold x (on pc) or bottom d-pad (on controller) to make a noise that fills up guards alert level to orange and half (why isnt this in tutorial??? maybe its in loading screen tips but i think i just tried pressing every single button one time early on)

15. You can not leve a zone when guards have orange or red alert level

16. If you replay a level you dont lose the previous progress on it you keep all unlocked insygnias and completed special objectives but if you didnt collect all tokens for thief insygnia then you have to start over and collect all of them in a single run

17. Roabies dont have the yellow alert level they immediately go from no alert to orange alert level.

18. Robies can hear you when you crouch to get past them without allerting them hold shift (Mouse and Keyboard) or lightly tilt joystick (Controller) when crouched.

19. Guards on orange alert can find you inside of barrels, wardrobes, under tables and in crawl tunnels, and pull you out.

Another tip that needs to be added is when you get an orange alert to your location. Trapping you into a dead end where you will be detected if you don't go invisible.
But if you use a clone, you can reset this alert status. So spawn a clone, run out and catch aggro and then immediately destroy the clone. This is a really cool part of the AI.

19 Is correct, they absolutely will pull you out of hiding spots on orange if roaming.

19 is not actually true. Orange alert guards will not check the hiding spots at all, likewise if they have their weapons out for mission-specific reasons (i.e the entire station is on alert because of an in-game event rather than because of spotting Styx), they will not check under the tables, inside barrels and so on. An exception is when something important they were interacting with has gone missing (i.e a treasure they were inspecting, but not the thief tokens or consumables) or when they are on orange alert because of having spotted you before.

18. Get past Roabies by holding down the shift key to move extra slowly - if you just use normal sneak they'll still get you.
19. Guards on orange alert can find you under tables and in crawl tunnels, and pull you out and kill you. If you trigger an orange alert in these spaces, relocate some distance to avoid being caught.

Honorable mentions
Clone Jumping: A little trick that i found out that you can do is that you can jump on your clone and then quickly jump off to get a bit more hight (Clone jumping can be done with a crouched and a stand up clone)

Do you keep the Thief insignia items if you replay the level you left without collecting all?

Although if we're talking about "functions you didn't know the game had", my last achievement to earn is "Like Looking Through a Wall". I just found that Smoke Bomb is activated by pressing the same button as Amber Vision. Not sure I used that at any point in the game.
