In X11, a simple workaround (regardless of the terminal emulator) is to
map <Shift+Enter> to a character that is not bound to a Vim command by
default, via xmodmap:

| $ xmodmap -e "keysym Return = Return currency"¹

You can check at the bash prompt that hitting <Shift+Enter> now
generates '¤', not '
'.

Then map the 'currency' character to <S-CR> in Vim:

| :map ¤ <S-CR>²

If your plugin's custom mapping is something like,

| :map <S-CR> :echo 'Hello Shift Enter'

hitting <Shift+Enter> should cause "Hello Shift Enter" to be displayed
at the bottom of your Vim screen.

I used the '¤' currency symbol for the sake of example, hoping both your
locale and font will display the above correctly.

Another example:

| $ xmodmap -e "keysym Return = Return eacute"
| :map é <S-CR>²
| :map <S-CR> :echo 'Hello Shift Enter'

¹ or keyboard remapping options of popular desktops?

² CTRL+K Cu -> ¤ .. CTRL+K 'e -> é .. etc.
