Is it possible to manually enter a scheduled transaction whenever I want?

I'm away from my gnucash system this week so please forgive me if I
mix up the terminology...

What I have been doing is using the "remind" field -- if I have a bill
payment due on the first whose bill usually comes on the 16th, then I
set the reminder about 15 days in advance, so when the SX "since last
run" dialog comes up, I can click on the word (maybe it says
"reminder"?) next to each transaction I want to enter, and choose to
schedule it, then I use the checkbox for reviewing scheduled
transactions to see them all at once.

Again, I apologize that I don't know the exact terminology, but one
thing that isn't readily apparent on (some versions of?) the "since
last run" dialog is that the word to the right of the scheduled
transaction is a pop-up button that lets you choose to schedule,
postpone, ignore, etc., each transaction.

I hope this does what you are looking for.
