You can simply use event.shift in combination with event.key, see the docs:
http://mootools.net/docs/core/Types/Event
element.addEvent('keydown', function(event){
if (event.shift && event.key == 'enter') alert('hi');
});
If you use Element.Event.Pseudos from more you can use, see:
http://mootools.net/docs/more/Element/Element.Event.Pseudos.Keys
element.addEvent('keydown:keys(shift+enter)', function(){
alert('hi');
});
