I read through the command-t docs because I thought maybe it had an option to search the 'path' instead of only the current directory. It doesn't, but the plugin DOES allow for specifying the top-level path.

So to simplify, you could do something like this instead:

let s:cmdt_root = getcwd()
map <F5> :exe 'CommandT' s:cmdt_root

huh, must've missed that (though i'd've failed on the script before this exchange anyway) but, now that it's done, i sorta like the manual toggle solution. i don't think i want that option taken away now that i have it :)
