Note: This plugin still works but it doesn’t really contain any major features that the native Text widget is missing. The plugin is no longer in active developement.
This plugin adds a rich text widget where the content is edited using the standard WordPress visual editor which most users already are familiar with. 
It uses the WP core function wp_editor() without adding a custom post type post for each widget making the widget quicker and simpler to edit.

WP Editor Widget

I used it to add client instructions to an admin page. This makes adding screenshots and video quite easy.



Works Perfectly

WP Editor Widget adds a rich text widget where the content is edited using the standard WordPress visual editor.

This replaces the WordPress comment submission form with a WYSIWYG rich-text editor. It includes a toolbar for bold, italic, links, embeds, blockquotes, code, and lists.
The editor used is <a href="https://trix-editor.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Trix</a>, written by Sam Stephenson and Javan Makhmali for Basecamp. This WordPress integration is by Jamie Zawinski.
