Remarks

When a user-defined mode is selected, the Scene view will render as though the "shaded" mode is selected.
using System.Collections.Generic;using UnityEditor;using UnityEngine;// Using a ScriptableSingleton lets us initialize and cleanup any managed resources with OnEnable and OnDisable.class CustomCameraMode : ScriptableSingleton<CustomCameraMode>{ // Initialize an instance of this class when the editor loads.

The source code for the shader used in the sample above is an example.
