Obviously this depends a lot on your methods. If I had a forcing raise of some kind I'd use it. If not, I'd bid 2C.

2♣ followed by 3♦ should be OK. Starting with 2♦ won't bring in the scene the great clubs

Do you really expect an uncontested auction?

2♣ first and maybe 5♦ later (4N if pard takes that as "diams + better clubs")

3♥ for me (=void), but then my 1♦ opening is non-standard, showing 4441 with a singleton ♣, 5+ diamonds unbalanced or 18-19NT with 5c♦.
Kind regards,
Harald

I like to play inverted minors, as it is very hard to give a forcing raise in a minor in standard bidding. I play it as forcing for one round in a regular partnership, and usually we will show strength looking for NT.
If partner bids 2 spades showing strength, I will use a splinter bid of 4 hearts and see what partner does, if he bids hearts showing strength or 2NT showing stoppers in both majors, I will bid clubs as a natural new suit bid. This would be an unusual auction because if I didn't have anything special and had clubs stopped I would just bid 3NT or pass according to strength.
Using standard methods, I guess I would use a splinter bid of 3 hearts and then bid clubs followed by a raise in diamonds and hope that partner could reevaluate his hand.
I probably won't get the chance to do all of this though as this will probably be a contested auction.

2NT - game force with clubs (privilege of natural transfer system).
Later shows diamond support.

Yeap, i'm think.
Contract played from right side (key cards placed in opener hand)
Hand not in trouble to 5 one of minor.
But opps in trouble - missed 4 in one of major.
Probably biddings:
1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - X - 3♣ ...
1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - X - 3♦ ...
1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♥ - 4♣ ...
1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♥ - 4♦ ...
1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♥ - X ...
1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♠ - 4♣ ...
1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♠ - 4♦ ...
1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♠ - X...
Partners in 2.round likely shows balance and suit preference ...
