I would like to create a stack (being able to portray List, Fan and Grid View) which sits in the dock that allows me to see my most recently used Applications upon clicking it.
Furthermore (and if possible) I would also like it to be able to change (upon right clicking it) from recently used applications to recently viewed documents, favourite items, favourite volumes etc.
ctrl+fn+F3
..selects an item of the dock. You can navigate using the arrow keys. The selected item is the one that will be selected first the next time you use this shortcut.
Once you've selected the Applications folder, the shortcut becomes for the next time:
ctrl+fn+F3+↩
BTW: You can also use ctrl+fn+F2 to access menubar items.
Issue solved: After the update the Recent Items selection in System Preferences>General was set to 0.

Yes, it is possible using the following Terminal command:
This adds a stack to the right end of the Dock (before the Trash) that lists your recently-used apps.
Upon right-clicking on the stack, you can choose from multiple recents lists, and change the style of the list, as well as remove it from the Dock. Running the above command multiple times will add multiple stacks to the Dock, which you can customise individually.
