action

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'deed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'current type gets into bad' is the wordplay.
'current type' becomes 'ac' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'gets' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bad' is an anagram indicator.
'into' anagrammed gives 'tion'.
'ac' going into 'tion' is 'ACTION'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for action that I've seen before include "Performance" , "Combat" , "Lawsuit; thing done" , "Take proceedings" , "Film director's cry?" .)
