You can indeed change the Alt-Tab behaviour with an extension, but not what the power button does. It used to be possible, but they decided it was to disruptive and removed the option, which is the standard Gnome policy.
I found an extension to show the shutdown dialog via Alt+PowerButton though.

- majewsky 9y agoNot a GNOME user, but maybe that's because the power button is now handled by logind? Have a look at `man logind.conf`.
- vetinari 9y agoNot sure what kind of Gnome you are using, but in Gnome 3.26 as shipped with Fedora 27, in the Settings, Power options, you have three options what can happen, when you press the power button: "sleep" (the default), "shutdown" and "do nothing". When you select the second option, "shutdown", and then press the power button, it will throw a dialog at you, that the machine will shutdown in 60 seconds (and will display countdown), together with "cancel", "reboot" and "shutdown" buttons.
