Help
agree that 4d might have been premature... why not 2nt as ogust of some sort? if 3h by west, double shows min/2 of top 3... knowing about the K,Q of trumps would help south a bunch

4♦ was actually a good bid on this hand. Say partner bids 2NT which we play as game-forcing. We of course bid out our shape after this. The range is already fairly tight as it's 10-14.
So suppose that it went 2NT then 4♥ by West. North (me) would double to show 4 spades and then what is South doing now?
At least over 4♦ South found out that North has 1 keycard.

didn't help much. Try this response schedule...
2D-P-4D-4H where 4D asked for keys
Pass = 0 or 3
RDBL = 1 or 4
4S = 2 no queen
4N = 2 with queen
5C = 1 with a void somewhere
5D = 2 with a void somewhere
