All selected icons should be opened/executed when pressing the Enter key, and they should not be unselected afterwards (same as when doing right-click > open all).
Created attachment 8542 proposed patch
This needs some more work.
Created attachment 8553 diff Some rework. I think that icons should be unselected on key press and last cursor position should not be reset.

Looks good, but I agree the selection shouldn't change. Getting rid of "xfdesktop_icon_view_unselect_all(icon_view);" doesn't seems to cause any harm. Can you please double check and send a patch with commit info? Thanks. Also Thunar could benefit from this as well.
Created attachment 8589 patch Removed that line.
