I just want to switch the Y and Z keys. I've tried everything with Karabiner on High Sierra, but it just doesn't seem to work. I always get an error message along the lines of: "Karabiner Error. Error in xml. Unknown symbol: KeyCode::0x6"
Attached you can see the code that I've been trying to use, as well as the modifier keys for Y and Z (which I've tried every variation of in the code).
<root>
<item>
<name>Swap Space and Tab</name>
<identifier>private.swap_z_and_y</identifier>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::0x6, KeyCode::0x10</autogen>
<autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::0x10, KeyCode::0x6</autogen>
strong text</item>
</root>
Please help!

ahem … Karabiner 10.xx no longer works with MacOS (High) Sierra …
The interim app Karabiner Elements 12.10 will solve your problem very easily, but "Complex Modifications" –meaning modifier/key combinations or e.g. "if_held_down"– can locally only be added/modified by manually editing
~/.config/karabiner/karabiner.json
