assign the fire button to both mouse button 1 (or whatever you are using now) and left ctrl, then go melee and hold down LCtrl with your left pinkie ;)

otherwise, i read somewhere that if you hold F to go melee, then open radial gear menu and select the scanner (just this or eventually repeating the last operation to unequip scanner, cant remember, didnt test it myself) you end up with a permanent channel until you switch weapon
