Vim 8.1 add a new :Termdebug command with a really good gdb integration. If the mouse option is set, there is also a visual bar appearing on vim. Here is an extract of the man:

If 'mouse' is set the plugin adds a window toolbar with these entries:
  Step          :Step 
  Next          :Over
  Finish        :Finish
  Cont          :Continue
  Stop          :Stop
  Eval          :Evaluate
This way you can use the mouse to perform the most common commands.  
You need to have the 'mouse' option set to enable mouse clicks.
                                                               :Winbar
You can add the window toolbar in other windows you open with: 
  :Winbar

My problem is, I would like to keep the mouse option on my configuration, but I would like to hide this bar, either at run-time with a command or preferably from the beginning in the vimrc. Is it possible to do so and how ?

Don't know about hiding it from the start, but what works to remove it after it was added is the following:

:aunmenu WinBar

I had one time where this did not work for some reason, but I cannot pinpoint the reason.

Note: It only works if you execute it in the window that has the toolbar

Note2: If you have other element in the window toolbar, those will get removed too. If you don't want this, you should explictly specify which elements to remove:

:aunmenu WinBar.Next
:aunmenu WinBar.Step

etc..

It doesn't look like this was made to be configurable unfortunately. This is from the plugin itself:

if has('menu') && &mouse != ''
    call s:InstallWinbar()

I think your only options are to

  1. Make your own command that will quickly turn mouse off and then back on again
  2. Comment out these two lines located in: .../Vim/vim##/pack/dist/opt/termdebug/plugin/termdebug.vim
