I would first suggest using an indentexpr or the indent ftplugin for
your file type. See :help 'indentexpr' and :help :filetype-indent-on
If this doesn't work for you, a simple mapping will suffice.
I would suggest:
:imap <C-CR> <CR><C-I>
:imap <C-S-CR> <CR><C-D>
This will allow you to press CTRL-ENTER for a new line with more
indent, and CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER for a new line with less indent.
These keys are not taken by any built-in functionality that I can find.
