The current tool is stored in Tools.current. You can change t$$anonymous$$s value select another tool or unselect them all by setting it to -1. But it's undocumented, so t$$anonymous$$ngs might go wrong. I had some troubles with it until I disable default input handling in the Scene view by calling

HandleUtility.AddDefaultControl(GUIUtility.GetControlID(FocusType.Passive));

in OnSceneGUI()

@hardwire OMG, it is exactly what I need to detect the default current tool in CustomEditor, following is a quick test:

  public void OnSceneGUI () 
 {
         if (GUI.changed)        
          EditorUtility.SetDirty (target);
 
 Debug.Log(" Current Tool: " + Tools.current.ToString()); // results:View,Move,Rotate,Scale
 }

Thanks
