1H is limited.

I play that 3m is at least a 5-5 and 2NT is a 6-4 wich is pretty standard IMO. However im thinking that since its quite rare that you want to bid with the 64 (and endup in 3m) that maybe 2NT should suggest something else ex ... lead H and 3m suggest to lead the m. Any ideas ?

Since the opponents have found a fit and partner has not raised our first suit, a fit in our second suit is pretty likely.

And if he goes back to hearts, WTP.

*** Nailed it. When 3D shows 5-5 and offensive honors IN my suits (not quacks in theirs ::: aka 'pure'),
what to do with 6-4, maybe even exceptional 5-4? Use 2NT!
Good meaning for 2Nt even with unlimited 1H - just puts lots of strong cases into reopening double.
