I looked all over the Internet and I couldn't find any information on this. When I am in either of these languages keyboard (in it's US version) how do I type all of the special characters that go with the letters in this mode. Example of what I mean is this:

Ā Ñ Ṇ ñ ṝ ś ṭ ḷ ḥ ā

Any and all of these I want to be able to type as I want to type in roman but want to be able to use these characters on the letters therefore typing sanskrit/hindi in english. Somewhere someone said shift and the letter would do it but that does nothing sadly.

So I'm hoping someone out there will know. Much appreciated for any help. Thank you.

I'm not sure I understand.
Do you want to be able to alternate between sanskrit and roman as needed?

No no no, I want to write in english, but I want to write the sanskrit in english with their correct characters that make the difference in how each word is pronounced. Am i making sense now? lol. Hope so.

Namaste! I think it's called writing "translit" or "transliteration". Basically, in MS Word and other office packets they have some kind of "Extended Latin" symbols table. It's possible to assign the Devanagari transliteration symbols to shortcuts, and keep a list of them in front of you, until you  memorize them all. But that's a messy way, since you need to assign a dozen characters at least.
