When I press and hold Power Button (touchID) - system is booting after about 2 seconds - and when I hold it for 10 seconds - it is switching off / cancel loading macOS in the middle of doing this.
I've tried Shift Contro Option Power Button - but the same situation.
I've tried this with charger connected and disconnected
Thank You

The problem is that the 2018 MacBook pros/air treat any keypress while powered off including the trackpad as an order to power up. In my personal opinion this is stupid. I hope apple will release a new firmware where they disable this behaviour, but then again pigs will fly and so on....
So it is imposible to do SMC reset on 2018 MacBook?
No, see LeroyDouglas.
That's what I did :)
And I pretty much know what I am doing - as I am using Macs since 2012 - and I had hundreds of them since then as doing simple repairs to them.
But for first time I got so new MacBook - and I was doing that SMC reset with many other MacBooks - even 2016 MacBook 12" - when holding that combination - nothing was happening (black screen) - and here - in this 2018 - it is booting right away to system (Apple Logo)
Other CRAZY thing is - holding right Shift Control Option - NOT even pressing power button - it triggers to boot system/switch on :/
