"Almost"
Keys are a little tile of plastic on top of a rubber dome. If the rubber dome is touching the metal part at the bottom, it connects a circuit. Keys cannot be detected halfway up.*sigh* If you're pressing the key, but you're almost not pressing it, then it returns true. Is it really that hard?Most PCs can't detect that sort of thing.

Anyway, I don't believe keyboards can detect key sensitivity, so I doubt this block would work.

All the meanings are super obvious so I support.
That was sarcasm.
One degree of truthfulness – what's that mean? I mean theoretically it makes sense but what's actually a degree of truthfulness?
You'd need a new type, “sort-of booleans”, that is a boolean attached to a truthfulness value, which would mean reimplementing all the blocks to have this truthfulness value, and it's all kind of unobvious..

All the meanings are super obvious so I support.So, a new data type, that is measured in “truths”?

Here is my newest (for now) idea:Semi-support. People have different definitions of “almost”.<almost touching color [#758606] ?::sensing>

Nor, in a way, does ‘almost’ - the concept is highly abstract and not quantifiable.None of those “measurements” make sense.What were you actually trying to say?Exactly.Or ejhwhfvjfghr, dvhjrjuhvgfre, rhjfghrege, or even yhregureyhgfue4hgiEr…

Wait, what would it exactly do? Would it report true for this?Hello?almost <((1) + (0.9)) = [2]> :: boolean operators

The OP changed the suggestion toWait, what would it exactly do? Would it report true for this?Hello?almost <((1) + (0.9)) = [2]> :: boolean operators
almost touching color [#123456]? :: sensing boolean

Workaround:
Anyway, the question about almost is “by how much?”
change size by (10)
if <touching color [#309917] ?> then
end
change size by (-10)
