Like almost everything performed with the fingers (7)
I believe the answer is:
digital
'with the fingers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'like almost everything' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'digit' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'everything' becomes 'all' (all things).
'all' with its last letter removed is 'al'.
'digit'+'al'='DIGITAL'
'performed' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for digital that I've seen before include "finger" , "Made up of numerals, a watch or other display" , "Works with through numerals, like watch" , "Of fingers or arithmetical figures" , "As most computers" .)
