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

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....
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 :/
So it is imposible to do SMC reset on 2018 MacBook?
No, see LeroyDouglas.
