3♣ and is not going to be easy to bid after that but there is no choice.
Jumping on 4 (or even 3) card suits is big hole in standard.

so we bid 3♠. Usually 3-5-1-4 with game forcing values ;) Life is happy. This auction is going splendidly.

Is this agreement common, expert treatment? I would take 3♠ as a cue bid in ♥'s.

Yes, universal. Hearts aren't agreed yet, 3H is a waiting bid. There was a nice article in the Deal of the Week from the Olympiad in SLC by Fred, I think the first one, unfortunately I can't find it exactly now since I don't have BBO on this computer. Fred was saying that this preference is even possibly done with a singleton heart, it says almost nothing about hearts.

This is perfectly analogous to

1H-1S
2C-2H
2S,

except opener has about a Queen more in the case of the 3C auction.

Well that's misleading from me, the auction beginning with 2C would show maybe 14-17 and the one beginning with 3C would show 18-21. So the difference is on average a king-ish but there is no gap between the two ranges. Also usually with 14 you wouldn't bid like this.

if you have the old Windows client you just look at Bridge Library and you can see the titles and there should be the Olympiad series, maybe 4 or 5 chapters. They are all a good read, you should definitely go through them, I have done it 3 or 4 times already and it's still exciting and a good read ;)

3H does not show 3 hearts, so we haven't found a fit, so 3S is natural, not a cue.

(4D would be a cue though)
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

3♠ is not a cue since 3♥ simply showed a preference between ♥ and ♣ and hasn't yet set trumps. With that in mind the 3♠ bid is also needed to pattern out and show 3 card support since PD might have 5♠ and we belong in ♠.

A good rule of thumb is no cue bids at the 3 level unless you are 100% certain that trumps have been agreed.
