3♥, intending to rebid hearts next. Hopefully pard will read this as a stronger hand than a direct 4♥ bid.

3♥ now. Not going to predict permutations.

Can't think of a standard system where I would not bid 3♥.

Get to game at minimum. 3H for now, though.

4♣.

But, fortunately I have discussed that in a bidding war between Opener and Responder about both majors, 4♣ shows a better hand than but similar to 4♥, whereas 4♦ shows a better hand than but similar to 4♠. Meaning, flag the major as a stronger bid than bidding the major.

I'm showing extras because my hearts are so good and because I have first-round club control. Since a perfect minimum (♠A, ♥Q, ♦AK) makes a grand reasonably likely to succeed, I better show purity.

1S was limited, but does 3d promises more than a min,
or could it be bid on any opening hand with 5-4 / 5-5?

4♦ sure sounds natural. Although in theory I prefer your way for sure.

Who bids 4♦ naturally anymore? LOL

I think 4C is coming in either major.
