Whole party sneak: Press down on the Dpad long
Up long brings out the torches
LT brings up character selection top button (Y) to ungroup left button (X) to group together
Long press A for search mode
Inventory is probably just console play

Wow ok, game changer literally! Was I supposed to get that info from somewhere and I missed it?
Reset gameplay hints maybe. You get all these tips at the start of the game. But if you have started playing on desktop those hints would have been for desktop controls.
Read the keybinds
I think it's visible on the controller settings menu. I also had to go looking for it. The sneaking thing is used so frequently that doing it by hand almost caused me to switch over to using my PC entirely.
Don't forget:tap up on D-pad for jump! Once I figured that out, I would leap like the Hulk everywhere with my 18 strength lol.
Tactical view on steam deck is just holding the camera stick up until it moves overhead (which is what pressing O on desktop does).
Edit: Ah apparently there is a bug with the seamless UI switching. To play it with mouse and keyboard UI on steamdeck, you have to go full mouse and keyboard. Map all your buttons to the keyboard keys that would perform the same action. There are community button configs for that though. The good news is that it is likely a bug, seamless switching is supposed to work, and hopefully will at some point.
Original less-informed message: Steam deck can also use the mouse and keyboard UI. And PC can use the gamepad UI. That seems to be the difference you are talking about. It auto switches interface based on what you touched last, so you just need to setup mouse controls on your steam deck, lots of options for how you want to do that. Touchscreen, trackpad, a key combination to activate mouse mode on one track pad and another combination or the same one to turn it back off, plugging a physical mouse in... I'm sure there is more, but either way, one of those should get you the mouse and keyboard UI on steam deck.
Good to know seamless switch is supposed to work. Most games just pick one at startup and you need to close and reopen to change. That’s also the case for BG3 but hopefully you’re right and it should be fixed.
hold dpad down to group sneak. I thought D:OS2 was better for inventory and party grouping.
