In theory... you could run "stty -ixon" in the PROMPT_COMMAND variable, and "stty ixon" in a DEBUG trap. The DEBUG trap is run before each command, and the PROMPT_COMMAND commands are run before displaying the prompt. So, it *should* work, as long as you're aware that commands might change the terminal modes themselves, and you aren't using DEBUG for anything else that would interfere.
