Shortcut to Show users in active netplay

If possible, add an option via shortcut to display the list of netplay users.

Research direction

Start by locating the netplay session user-management code and the shortcut-handling entry points. Trace how active sessions expose connected users, then determine the platform-independent way to display their names or count. Done means a configured shortcut reliably shows the users in the current netplay session.
