I have no real shortage no suit for the 4. level and no gooddouble.

I would double with 1543, but here I just pass.
Kind Regards

suit quality makes 4♥ reasonable option, but double keeps 3NT in the picture wich probably is best if LHO has spade shortness and partner 3 cards.

I would double.

Hi,

4H.

If playing ELC, you can make the double, otherwise you wont be happy
to hear 4C after X.

With kind regards

Double then 4♥ over 4♣, showing a flexible hand.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

So far, I fully agree. But what if partner bids 5♣?

Sit back and admire his cardplay.
