Help
All white, Cavendish:
♠Ax
♥QTxx
♦Jx
♣Kxxxx
1♦-(1♠)-X-(Pa)
4♦-(Pa)-???
What would 3♦ show? What about repeating diamonds after a cue-bid? What do you bid here? Is partner's jump total insanity or could it show 'something'?

A hand that really wants to play in diamonds...playing strength...forcing to game? Giving me a chance to show something interesting. Not the most common bid...but that is how I would take it if partner and I have never discussed.

That the "???" seat was not paying attention to the bidding.

If you have phil's agreement over 1♦-1♥-4♦ then that's what this is.
I guess Qx, AKJx, AQTxxxx, - would be a really bad hand for partner to have, but any hand with both red AKs will probably have play for slam.

I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

Yep, if we agree to rebid as if there had been a 1♥ response (and we do), then 4D is indeed that convention with no name. Thought I was going to have to battle that, but apparently not.
That hand suggested by Kayin801 is just barely slammish enough to be a 4♣ rebid, rather than 4D. But it is close to just 4♦.

Hard to say without the context.
1. If you play forcing free bids, you may x with a long suit on your own. Would you double with say (Xx,XXX,JX,AKJxxx)?
2. If you play the "outfashioned" way of showing the unbid suits, 4 ♣ would be a much different hand then agua would expect- this would change the meaning of 4 ♦- but just slightly.
3. If you play any kind of semiforcing opening (Acol twos, or Benjamin or others..) 4 ♦ could never be natural.
4. If you have no semiforcing opening, parter may simply tried to show a semiforcing with diamonds?
Anyway, the most likely bid is the CWNN, so I KC for hearts.

I play 4♦ as natural slam try and I have an easy 4♠ bid now.

Natural for me too but it could just be a game try. I'm accepting with 4♠. The hands Phil suggests can get wherever they belong with a spade cue instead of pre-empting pard and making them guess our black suit holdings.

Somewhat analogous poll at BridgeWinners show the "CWNN" is on in competition. Agree Neg Double = ♥. So 4♦ is CWNN.
Somewhat bemused by "CWNN" - this seems to be a very early instance for Fit Jump - though perhaps that's unacceptable for this narrow construct. We used to call it a Source of Tricks Major Raise, not knowing any better.
