# Text Widget default editor

 * When I go to Edit any page or Post, or create a New Page or Post, the editor 
   always shows me my last-used interface, which is Text (HTML). It never shows 
   me Visual, even though that tab remains an option.
 * However, in Widgets, when I go to edit my Text Widget, it ALWAYS shows me Visual,
   even though I have never used that, and I always have to switch over to Text (
   HTML).
 * I have whined about this before, in the other forum for feedback, but nothing
   has been done to solve this problem. So I am wondering if there is something 
   I can do … some function thing I can add to make it always show Text (HTML) when
   I open the Text Widget.
 * I tried searching for this on Google, but you can imagine what the keywords ‘
   customize wordpress text widget’ returned…. No help!
 * Thanks!

 * Try closing it in “Visual” mode. Hopefully it will open next time in “Visual”
   mode.

 * I don’t want it in Visual mode. That’s the problem. It should “remember” where
   I left off, in Text mode. But it doesn’t. So I would like a sort of hack to make
   it remember or make it never use Visual at all.
