I think partner is 6-5, so I just bid 6♦.

I think 4♦ is natural, and partner is 6-1-4-2, 6-0-4-3, 6-1-5-1, or 6-0-5-2. If it's any of the extreme shapes, then I don't think he has much of a hand, as he probably would open 1 spade. As such, I go the low road and bid 5 ♦.

It doesn't matter that 4♦ is. You just bid 6♦ and pard corrects to 6♥ if he had hearts in mind.

Partner is agreeing H and showing a D control.

I agree with this. Of course, contextually, it is shortness, but I would take it as shortness if the context was not so obvious.

I actually think that's a good idea here. Why take the chance of a misunderstanding? Even if partner thinks that 4♦ is a cuebid and 6♦ by us shows both red suits, he will choose hearts since he would have diamond shortness in that case.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

1. Cue of course

2. 6 ♥, not impossible for him to hold QJxxxx,KTx,x,Kx, but 6 is enough.

I agree that with a pick up partner, 6 ♦ is the better idea- just in case. But with my regular partner 4♦ is defined as a cue, so I would not joke around.
Kind Regards

4♦ is imo cue with ♥ fit, but it depends on our partner... I think the plan of bidding 6♦ can't go wrong.
