this is not related to vim but to your terminal.

In konsole, where I have shift+left / shift+right mapped to 'go to next' 
or 'go to previous tab', vim never receive such a binding. I'm even not 
sure konsole sends those bindings.

I suggest you to read :he term.txt


Though, under xterm, e.g., in vim, if I do in insert mode :

^K<S-Right>

it prints : [1;2C

meaning that vim gets sth from the terminal, but that it has not 
recognised that it's <S-Right>.

:he term.txt

show you how to do that right :

set t_%i=^[[1;2C

and then <S-Right> will be regognized.


I'm not sure if it's the best method to do it, and I guess that either 
xterm or vim miss the right termcap/terminfo to understand bindings 
right
