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

'comprehensively' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'nail bent at a right angle' is the wordplay.
'bent' is an anagram indicator.
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a right angle' becomes 'l'.
'nail' is an anagram of 'inal'.
'inal'+'l'='IN ALL'
