[vim] auto complete matlab flow control [for, if, while] with indentation in vim

Okay, it turns out just combining some keys is good enough :(

:inoremap <c-n><c-n> <esc>yyp^d$a
:inoremap <c-c><c-c> <esc>yyp^d$aend<esc>kyyp^d$a
 
hit ctrl-c twice (holding ctrl) in the edit mode , use ctrl-n twice to go next line

Example:
1) type "for a 1 4", then run cc in normal mode, ==>
for a = 1:4

end
2) type "for a 4 1", then run cc in normal mode, ==>
for a = 4:-1:4

end
3) type "for a 2 4 12", then run cc in normal mode, ==>
for a = 2:4:12

end
4) type "while a =4", then run cc in normal mode, ==>
while a=4

end

5) auto-indent
if you have"
%==============
if isLoop==1
for n loopStart loopStep loopEnd (run cc in normal mode)
end

it will result in:
%==============
if isLoop==1
   for n = loopStart:loopStep:loopEnd
         
   end
end
