description
This script let you can use CTRL-P/N to complete word in cmdline mode
just like in insert mode.

for instance :
            1.   :something<C-P>
            2.   /else<C-N>
      
you also can map other keys instead of <C-P/N> like this in your vimrc:
            cmap <C-J> <Plug>CmdlineCompletionBackward
            cmap <C-K> <Plug>CmdlineCompletionForward

Or,  you may wanna keep compatiable recent history when using <C-P/N> , try this: ( Thanks for Enno.Nagel's good idea ) .
            cmap <expr> <c-p> getcmdpos() == 1 ? '<up><home>' : '<plug>CmdlineCompletionBackward'
            cmap <expr> <c-n> getcmdpos() == 1 ? '<down><home>' : '<plug>CmdlineCompletionForward'
