Q: How can I find the screen/page id name to use?
A: This can be easily deduced from looking at the URL in the admin. For regular posts, it would just be “post”. For a custom post type, it would be the name of that custom post type (my-custom-post-type). For other pages (like my plugin editor example), it usually works to just remove the “.php” from the end of the url (i.e. “plugin-editor.php” becomes “plugin-editor”).
Q: Is there some handy reference somewhere for the main admin screen ids?
A: You are in luck: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Admin_Screen_Reference
Q: I’m the lazy type, is there some tool to help me identify admin screens?
A: You are in even greater luck. I just added an option to show you what screen you are on anywhere in the admin. Go to BAH Options page and check the box for “Show Current Screen”. A small header on every page will identify your admin screen.
Q: If I have more than one tab on a page, how can I order them?
A: Like the blog, they are in reverse cron order. So you can just change the dates of the ones you want to be on the top to the latest. If there is enough interest I may add an order field in a future version.
Q: Can I put the same tab on multiple pages?
A: As of version 1.1, yes. Separate your page(screen) names with either a comma or a space.
