4S, you need very little for game (like the DK).

Given partner is a passed hand - 4S, if facing a p, which had not yet the opportunity to speak,
..., still 4S, but I would play with idea to investigate higher ranking contracts.
Not a good idea, but I would play with the idea.
With kind regards

Can't imagine bidding anything other than 4♠.

4♠ WTP? And hopefully this forces LHO to make the "last guess".

Ok, seems unanimous. I was worried a 4S bid would make partner think I was stronger than this and try for slam...
Unfortunately my timid 3S bid encouraged LHO to compete, and he bid on to 5H for a good result for them. (5S would have made in reality though not double dummy - RHO could get a diamond ruff if LHO led the ace and another). I suspect an initial 4S bid would have shut LHO out.
If I were stronger (say KJTx in diamonds, Ax in clubs), would you use Exclusion Key Card to look for slam, or is there some other way?

With AKQxxxx,v,KJTx,Ax I would dbl 3H and then bid spades (also at 5 level). Exclusion is when you agreed a trump suit.

"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
