It's exactly the same as eclipse Shift+Enter.
E.g. I have a some text:
Hello, *everyone.
I'm Freewind.
The * in the first line is the cursor. Then I press some key shortcut, it becomes:
Hello, everyone.
*
I'm Freewind.
Notice there is a new line in the second line, and the cursor is in the new line.
What's the key shortcut can I use?

C-e C-m
or
C-e C-j
Both will move to end of the line and add newline. The second will also indent.

Can I map a key to do this job, so I just need to press once? – Freewind – 2011-09-02T18:42:36.200
That is a key mapping. Emacs allows binding commands to key sequences and most commands are two keys. It's generally a bad idea to bind to one key since most of the one key bindings are taken by emacs fundamentals. – Ross Patterson – 2011-09-02T18:46:20.130
C-e invokes move-end-of-line and C-m invokes newline – Dror – 2014-06-15T19:47:05.473

For completeness here is a function:
(defun end-of-line-and-indented-new-line ()
(interactive)
(end-of-line)
(newline-and-indent))
(global-set-key (kbd "<S-return>") 'end-of-line-and-indented-new-line)

Thank you, but how do I use it? Just map a key to this function? Can I map "Shift-Enter" to it? – Freewind – 2011-09-02T18:57:40.717

3If you use comment-indent-new-line instead, it will also insert the appropriate comment characters if you're currently inside a comment. – phils – 2011-09-03T00:19:17.310

You can make something akin to a keyboard macro like this.
(global-set-key (kbd "<S-return>") "\C-e\C-m")
or indeed:
(global-set-key (kbd "<S-return>") (kbd "C-e C-m"))
to avoid using two different kinds of syntax for keys.

3I always use C-e and then enter. – None – 2011-09-02T18:38:34.813
