Reset smc

I have a 2019 MacBook Pro 13 inch with lowest specs and I’m going to uninstall a fan controller app i was using as I needed to set up faster fan ramp up times. When I uninstall it I want to reset the smc to ensure the fan will run properly in the future and I would like to know what the correct key bind combination is for my model to reset smc as I have hear some people have had serious problems such as their computer not charging as a result. Can someone please confirm the correct key combination for the smc reset for my model, much appreciated, thank you.

Read this Apple document: How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support


There is no keys combination. In a nutshell:

To reset the SMC on Intel-based Mac Pro, iMac, and Mac mini computers, as well as Xserve:
 1 Shut down the computer.
 2 Unplug the power cord and all peripherals.
 3 Wait fifteen seconds.
 4 Attach the power cord.
 5 Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
