Comment (by paaljoachim):

 If the goal of the text widget is to make it easier to add styled text
 then adding p, h1, h2, h3, h4 (perhaps a shorter version then writing out
 the word Paragraph and Heading 1, Heading 2 etc) as well as alignment is a
 natural part of it.

 Standard styling in TinyMCE is:
 - Heading.
 - Alignment.
 - Linking.
 - Bold/italic etc.
 - List.
 - Adding media.

 Leaving out essentials such as heading and alignment does not make the
 text widget as user friendly as it should be.
 As mentioned if the problem is the width of the tinymce bar in the widget
 then just shorten down the heading drop down to only show the tags.
