Can I change from 150 in zoomDelta = -delta.y / 150.0f; to something else? I tried to change it to some lower value (e.g 50) to make scrolling faster but it wouldn't scroll precisely to the mouse position. Also the more I zoom in the slower it feels. How can I make it feel more consistent (faster)? (as I said above, changing the number to something lower will make it less accurate)

Hmm, I can't see any reason why decreasing it would make it less accurate. I believe the reason it feels slower as you get zoomed in is because it's changing linearly. I think if you make the change multiplicative, it will feel more consistent. Ex. right now zoom does something similar to going through 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - instead it could be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

Sorry, I just checked it again and realized that I was calling the ConvertScreenCoordsToZoomCoords after changing the zoom so it wouldn't work properly. I fix it now and I can finally decrease the value. I think changing the value multiplicatively is the solution. Can you show me how to do it? In your other gist, I saw you doing some multiplying but I didn't understand it properly.
