Partner opens any 11 HCP. Your bid?

4h seems normal across from any 11 count.

I have a nice tool for this. 3NT now would be a power raise to 4H. Give partner Axxxx-AKxxx-x-Ax.

Fortunately opener can't have that, as it would be a 3♥ bid or perhaps even an upgrade to 2♣.

Same for me. I would need a better hand for 3NT.

4♥ looks to me like an underbid.
If partner is short in clubs we might well make more.

I will try 4♦ with a sophisticated partner but without special agreements.
Opener could have ♠AQJxxx ♥AKxx ♦xxx ♣-
